Still playing catch-up, so here’s some stuff from last week. \u00a0Another busy week, so my ability to get out was limited. \u00a0Making the best of it, I headed up to the USS Nautilus Overlook Park in Groton a couple times, getting some shots of trains and submarines in the same frame.<\/p>\n
The Thames River hosts a wide variety of photographic subjects – from swans, to boats, and of course railroads. \u00a0Since the early 1900s, the Thames has also been the home of the US Navy’s Submarine Base, which is currently the homeport to a number of the Navy’s latest nuclear powered fast attack submarines. \u00a0On two days last week, I had the opportunity to bring subs and trains along the Thames together.<\/p>\n
First up was last Monday the 17th, where I was fortunate enough to not only get one train passing by the Sub Base and USS Nautilus, but two. \u00a0First up was NECR train NERWNE heading north as a single light engine on the western bank of the river. \u00a0That was soon followed by P&W train NR2 coming south on the track closest to me.<\/p>\n[cpg_album:720]\n
And second was Thursday the 20th, where only NR2 was in the cards. \u00a0But I did manage to get them not only at the USS Nautilus, but also at the bottom end of Fairview, as well as crossing Shaw’s Cove in New London. \u00a0Then on the way back to the office, I got a few shots of the US Coast Guard Cutter Campbell heading south in the Thames.<\/p>\n[cpg_album:722]\n
That was it for last week’s adventures. \u00a0Like I said, things have been hectic…hopefully some normalcy will return soon.<\/p>\n
Thanks for looking!
