Well, I was in an all-day meeting\/workshop today, so I had to forego my walk alltogether. Oh, well, I guess I can miss one day here & there. I’ve got an active weekend planned, so I’m sure I’ll make up for it. But after work, I figured I’d head to Old Saybrook to retrieve my lost lens cap from yesterday<\/a>. This morning, I remembered to bring a roll of duct tape with me. I figured that if the cap was still there at the bottom of the platform, I could put a piece of tape on the end of my monopod and retrieve the cap from the ballast below. Well, needless to say, it worked great, and of course I caught a couple trains despite the crappy weather.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When I got to the station, the first thing I noticed was a clear signal on track 1 – that meant that a westbound was soon to be in the picture. So after I got my lens cap from track level, I moved to the western side of the platform to get a shot of the train heading in. A couple minutes later, the train arrived to pick up a few passengers waiting on the center platform.<\/p>\n

And a shot of the train waiting, then departing – both looking west.<\/p>\n

A quick check of the Shore Line East schedule showed a train due in about 5 minutes – well worth sticking around. About 6 minutes later, here they came down track 2, then crossed over to 1 to the west of the station.<\/p>\n

And another shot of the side of the newly repainted coaches<\/p>\n

Of course, a shot of the train waiting for passengers to board<\/p>\n

And finally, a shot of the train departing westward<\/p>\n

Then it was time for me to depart northward for home.<\/p>\n

Thanks for looking!
