hey, the last post was nearly a week ago!\u00a0 About a month ago, I had an opportunity to chase Providence &amp; Worcester train CT-1 with a couple other photographers, one of which would be acting as &#8220;tour guide&#8221; for the day.\u00a0 Never having photographed that train, or the lines it traverses, I decided to head out to central Connecticut for a chase between New Haven and Rocky Hill, adding some new territory to my portfolio.\u00a0 Oh, yeah, and the foliage looked pretty nice too.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Early Monday morning October 12th, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.railpictures.net\/showphotos.php?userid=16676\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nick Palazini<\/a> met up with me at the house, and we made the trek down to Middlefield to meet our &#8220;tour guide&#8221; for the day &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/adamt.rrpicturearchives.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adam Twombly<\/a> (click their names to see some of their photos).\u00a0 From there we headed to the north end of CSX&#8217;s Cedar Hill Yard in North Haven to begin our journey.\u00a0 At Cedar Hill, we caught some CSX power being readied for the day, then CT-1 came into view.\u00a0 Once they were done with their work there, they headed north, and we soon followed.\u00a0 Spots included Tilcon&#8217;s Reed&#8217;s Gap quarry, the Coginchaug River, the Connecticut River swing bridge between Middletown and Portland, and also up the Valley line as far as Rocky Hill.\u00a0 There was some nice foliage along the way &#8211; not quite at peak, but some nice color other than green.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, here&#8217;s the goods from last month.<\/p>\n[cpg_album:627]\n<p>Just want to say &#8220;thanks!&#8221; again to Adam and his mother for playing tour guide for Nick &amp;
