On Sunday the 17th I had to run down to Stop-N-Shop for some last minute supplies for dinner. Heading out there things were quiet in Willimantic – traffic waiting for the PW to pick up, and no activity in the NECR yard. The trip back home, however, things were a […]
On the 6th of October I got some information from a friend “in the know” about a couple nighttime ethanol moves on the New England Central around Willimantic, CT. So after my wife & I put the kids to bed, I headed out to see what I could shoot. With […]
On September 25, 2010 the Connecticut Eastern Railroad Museum hosted their 7th annual Night Photo Shoot.

Oh how easy it is to fall behind on things. Like usual, I’m a bit behind on my postings here, so here’s one from a week and a half ago – July 5th. I had Monday off since it was a company holiday, so I took a little time in […]
