This past Sunday, my older daughter Katina had a birthday party to go do for a friend from school. So that left her younger sister Callie and I with an open afternoon to do what we wanted. I asked her if she’d like to go with me to photograph a […]

Today I had to bring my older daughter to the dentist, and then school, so I was going into work late. As it worked out, the Providence & Worcester ran another NR-4X to Willimantic today. So I figured I could take the scenic route into work and hopefully come across […]
This past Tuesday the Providence & Worcester ran an extra – NR-4X – from Plainfield to Willimantic. They brought out some interchange traffic for the NECR, but also they were picking up some cars from Willimantic. Some were the normal lumber flats and boxcars, but five were different.

Once again, I’m behind. Here’s some stuff from last week – April 15th, or Tax Day for those of us here in the US. As the day started out, I thought I wouldn’t catch any train action, but as it ended, that all changed.

This past Saturday night, Bob LaMay and I braved the wind & rain, and headed up to Worcester for a little night photo session. Up there, we met up with a few other photographers, and proceeded to take a few shots before the rain really started to come down. And […]
And we continue on the catch-up trek. Now we’re up to the 28th of October when I had to head up to Weston, MA for an EMC conference. Of course, the camera bag came along, despite the crappy weather. But would I find any trains to shoot?
