\"\"Back on May 10th, the weather was pretty good – some sun mixed with clouds – so I was considering going out and shooting a bit. \u00a0But with some early morning meetings, I thought I couldn’t make it. \u00a0Then I got a message that Amtrak had parked a pair of GP38s on the Ring’s End spur in Niantic. \u00a0OK, that’s pretty unique for the area, so I figured I’d take advantage of a small hole in my schedule mid-morning. \u00a0Not only was I able to get the power, I also bagged Providence & Worcester NR-2, and an Amtrak Acela and Regional.<\/p>\n

With the opening in my calendar, and the call from Vinny, I made my way down to Niantic for a bit. \u00a0At the very least I’d get the Amtrak work train power sitting shut down on the Ring’s End siding. \u00a0After shooting the pair of GP38H-3s, we made our way down to the boardwalk area and McCook Point park. \u00a0While there, Amtrak 171 and 2150 came rolling by. \u00a0We did hear NR-2 going through New London station, but I was running out of time, so I headed out. \u00a0But as I pulled down Main Street towards the light at the old Mobil station, I heard a “hot rail” call for NR-2. \u00a0So I stopped off at the convenience store, propped myself up on a rock, and got a few shots of NR-2 passing by – despite being only a trio of light engines. \u00a0Oh, well…still came out pretty good IMHO.<\/p>\n[cpg_albumfullsize:854]\n

Thanks for looking!
