Notice how much higher the empty barge is sitting in the water compared to the loaded one (see the link above for those pictures).<\/p>\n
Not long after the tugs were out of view, NR-2 was reporting that they were south of MP5, putting them about a minute north of my position. I opted for the shot at the south end of Mill Cove, so I hopped in the car, and rode a bit south into position. Moments later, NR-2 rounded the bend and hit the causeway between the cove and the Thames River<\/p>\n

And the most interesting shot of the morning – A GE, a Dodge and a Mercury.<\/p>\n

And finally, a kind of run-of-the-mill shot of NR-2s trailing power<\/p>\n

I would have tried for a Thames River drawbridge shot, but needed to hit the post office on the way back, so time was running short. Oh, well – next time!<\/p>\n
Thanks for looking!

A foggy and somewhat humid morning, turned out to be decent photographically speaking. After a couple day hiatus, I got back to my normal daily walk, and I figured a trip to Erickson Park in Ledyard would do the trick. So I left at my normal time, and arrived at the park as Providence & Worcester train NR-2 informed the Worcester dispatcher that they were south of MP12 in Norwich. Perfect – that gave me time to do my walk, and prepare a shot for the passing train.<\/p>\n
