\"\"On the 17th of May I was able to get out for a few minutes to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 over lunch. \u00a0It was a quick trip out, and I was only able to catch them at a couple spots. \u00a0But while out, I noticed one of my favorite angles will soon be no longer available due to some Amtrak fence construction. \u00a0Just like Groton tower, where a chain link fence was erected along the south side of the tracks, the area to the north of the Shaw’s Cove swing bridge is following suit.<\/p>\n

Yep, Amtrak is installing chain link fence along the west side of the tracks, between the crossing at the Waterfront Park and Shaw’s Cove, making a classic angle a lot more difficult, if not impossible, to shoot. \u00a0 \u00a0I guess we’ll see if it’s possible or not once they’re done with the construction.<\/p>\n

Anyways, I headed out over lunch to catch P&W NR-2 pulling loaded ethanol out of the NECR in New London. \u00a0It was a kind of cruddy, rainy day, but I figured it was worth running out for a bit. \u00a0After I got them pulling off of the NECR lead and over the Shaw’s Cove swing bridge in New London, I headed over the river and up to Mill Cove in Ledyard, where I waited to bag them again. \u00a0This time, though, the wait would be a bit longer. \u00a0Due to the wet rail and heavy loads, NR-2 wasn’t able to make the grade up to and over the Thames River lift bridge. \u00a0So they had to back down and clear Shaw’s Cove again, and make a run for the bridge. \u00a0The second time they made it, and I got a few shots of them passing by Mill Cove.<\/p>\n[cpg_albumfullsize:857]\n

Thanks for looking!
