\"\"Fall in New England brings plenty of cloudy days along with the changing color on the trees. \u00a0On Friday the 15th I managed to get out and shoot a bit, catching an Amtrak Acela, Northeast Regional and a work extra over lunch, then a New England Central ethanol extra later in the day.<\/p>\n

Over lunch I grabbed my sandwich and headed over to Niantic to meet up with a couple other local railfans – Marc and Vinny – to catch some trains along the Niantic Bay Boardwalk. \u00a0While dodging raindrops, we managed to catch a westbound Amtrak Northeast Regional, followed by a westbound Amtrak work extra, and finally an eastbound Amtrak Acela. \u00a0Not too bad for a quick stop at the boardwalk – and I worked a nice mile walk into it as well.<\/p>\n

After I got out of work, I headed north to see if I could catch a southbound NECR ethanol extra out of Palmer. \u00a0I ended up catching them in Stafford Springs after they got pushed over the State Line hill to the north. \u00a0I got shots of them at two spots in Stafford, then another in Tolland. \u00a0That was it since I had to get down to Norwich ASAP. \u00a0Plus the light was fading fast, and I was driving through some pretty heavy downpours.<\/p>\n[cpg_album:787]\n[cpg_album:788]\n

Thanks for looking!
