Ryan Parent<\/a> with him as well, and were setting up for NR-2.<\/p>\nAs we shot the bull for a couple minutes, a westbound Amtrak regional made its appearance on the drawbridge.<\/p>\n
[cpg_imagefixthumb:3749]\n
And as soon as they cleared the block, NR-2 got the signal to head west on their tail.<\/p>\n
[cpg_imagefixthumb:3748]\n
From there we packed up and headed to the spot with a better view of the station & Shaw’s Cove area. Caught a shot of NR-2 near Governor Winthrop Blvd. and a ferry in the foreground.<\/p>\n

And as the train crawled along Bank Street in New London, a fishing boat sped up the river.<\/p>\n

Of course, I had to get a shot of Ross waiting. I would have had Ryan in the shot too, but he moved to quickly…<\/p>\n
[cpg_imagefixthumb:3745]\n
And a couple more shots of NR-2 heading through the station and Waterfront Park area<\/p>\n
[cpg_imagefixthumb:3744] [cpg_imagefixthumb:3743]\n
Finally a shot of the train crossing the Shaw’s Cove swing bridge.<\/p>\n

It was time for me to head back to work, so I left Ross & Ryan to do their bidding (they were heading for Old Saybrook next – Ross was jonesing for some Acela action at track speed).<\/p>\n
Thanks for looking!

Phew, what a whirlwind of a weekend. Friday I had off from work, and went fishing with my father, Saturday I had to pick up some darkroom equipment from a friends place (along with some antique cameras like a Rolleieflex TLR and a Graflex Speed Graphic), then head up to Lenox, MA to work on planning the night shoot at the Berkshire Scenic Railway (September 1, 2007 if you’re curious – more on that soon), and Sunday was my aunt’s surprise 85th birthday party. Finally, I’m getting a chance to catch up on some of the shooting from the past few days.<\/p>\n
