Sunday was an eventful day, photographically speaking. \u00a0So I’ll be dividing it up into two parts – day and night. \u00a0For the daytime, I had one chance encounter, and one planned. \u00a0The chance involved the New England Central Railroad, and the planned was up at my alma mater – the University of Connecticut.<\/p>\n
In the morning, while getting ready for the PM activities (more on that later), I had to run into Willimantic to gas up my car. \u00a0As I was heading down Route 289 towards Willi I fired up the scanner. \u00a0Just after the scanner woke up, the NECR frequency locked in. \u00a0OK, cool a train was in the picture. \u00a0But the catch was I only had a few minutes to spare because we had plans in the early afternoon, and I couldn’t chance screwing those up. \u00a0Figured it was worth a check-out – hey, I was going right past the \u00a0yard, so why not?<\/p>\n
As I pulled onto Bridge Street I was greeted by an activated grade crossing, and NECR NERWPA pulling north. \u00a0Judging by the conversation on the radio, they were getting ready to head north. \u00a0So I got a quick shot as the power pulled out from behind a cut of cars waiting for the P&W to pick up.<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixthumb:11301]\n
With no time left, I headed off to gas up the car and get back home.<\/p>\n
Now on to the thing that I couldn’t be late for. \u00a0We were heading up to UConn to watch a polo match with the kids. \u00a0Of course, I took a bunch of pictures of the game, along with a couple of the horses that were in a ring outside the barns.<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixthumb:11300] [cpg_imagefixthumb:11299] [cpg_imagefixthumb:11298] [cpg_imagefixthumb:11297] [cpg_imagefixthumb:11296] [cpg_imagefixthumb:11295] [cpg_imagefixthumb:11294] [cpg_imagefixthumb:11293] [cpg_imagefixthumb:11292] [cpg_imagefixthumb:11291]\n
And that was it for the daytime. \u00a0After we got home, I was heading off to the evening’s activities. \u00a0More on that in a bit…<\/p>\n
Thanks for looking!
