Today I couldn’t make my walk in the morning, so I decided to head for Old Saybrook over lunch. The weather was kinda crappy, but hopefullyI’d at least catch a train or two while I was there.<\/p>\nToday I couldn’t make my walk in the morning, so I decided to head for Old Saybrook over lunch.

Well, that’s exactly what I caught – two trains, both of which were Amtraks. Turns out that P&W NR-2 was working back & forth between Groton and New London until well past noon. Oh, well, at least I got something.<\/p>\n
With the so-so flat lighting, I figured some people shots would work well. So I plopped myself on the center platform in advance of a westbound Amtrak regional. A few minutes later the automated warning system kicked in and announced the arrival of the train. The riders began to get ready to board.<\/p>\n

And as the train stops, some buisness class passengers walk to the head end for their seats<\/p>\n

Once all were aboard, the train headed out<\/p>\n

And a mom & her son watched the train depart<\/p>\n

Once the train had left, a quick check of the schedule showed an eastbound Acela due in within 10 minutes. I figured I could get it in before having to hit the road. Right on time, the Acela showed up and sped through the station. With the flatter and more subdued lighting, I went with a blur shot, both coming & going.<\/p>\n

Then it was time to head back. Not a bad lunchtime.<\/p>\n
Thanks for looking!
