OK, it’s not what you think. \u00a0On the evening of September 24th, the skies caught my eye on the way out of work. \u00a0I figured that I might try a shot at the Thames River lift bridge with the sun in the frame. \u00a0But it would be nice if there were a train in the picture. \u00a0Well, as I was heading north along Thames Street in Groton, I saw silver across the river at the New London Station – it was an Amtrak Regional. \u00a0But was it a west or eastbound? \u00a0Peering across the Thames I finally got my answer – the power was on the east end of the train! \u00a0OK, now to get to the spot near the bridge.<\/p>\n
I got there just as the train was rounding the curve on the New London side of the bridge approaching Groton interlocking. \u00a0I had enough time to quickly meter, adjust the settings and fire off a shot as the train came into view on the east side of the bridge. \u00a0Here’s the result.<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixnormal:114560]\n
Not too bad, eh?<\/p>\n
Thanks for looking!
