But I tore myself away from the office to get a couple quick shots of Providence &amp; Worcester train NR-2 in Groton in between the sporadic raindrops.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I was hoping to get them at Mill Cove, but as things turned out, as I hit Military Highway NR-2 reported that they were south of MP5.  My only option was the USS Nautilus overlook park.  So I hightailed it there to hopefully get in position before the train&#8217;s arrival.<\/p>\n<p>I did get there about a half minute before NR-2, so I scoped things out.  Still not much color on the trees, so I opted for the angle that would get me some of what little was there.  Just as I was swapping to the fisheye lens, the crossing at the Nautilus activated and NR-2 began to sound for the crossing.  I got one decent shot out of the series there.  It didn&#8217;t help that the trailing power was facing south, so I could only get the ass-end of the unit into the frame.  Oh, well&#8230;at least the first one worked out.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">[cpg_imagefixthumb:4985]\n<p>A quick hop into the car, and a jaunt to the south to pick up NR-2 as they rolled through Fairview yard.  Which surprisingly, had a bit more color on the trees.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">[cpg_imagefixthumb:4984]\n<p>A friendly smile &amp; wave from Rod as they passed came next, then as they were heading past me, Rod kept looking out the window.  What the hell, it seemed to work OK&#8230;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">[cpg_imagefixthumb:4983]\n<p>And a shot of the lead unit rounding the bend at the south end of the yard amongst more fall color<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">[cpg_imagefixthumb:4982]\n<p>Not sure how much longer NR-2 would have to wait at the signal, I opted to grab a quick shot of the Thames River drawbridge&#8217;s new counterweight, today surrounded by the final cross bracing on the outside of the tower.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">[cpg_imagefixthumb:4981]\n<p>You may be asking yourselves &#8220;why the hell does he keep taking pictures of that damned bridge at every little update?&#8221;\u00a0 You&#8217;ll see once the bridge is complete&#8230;heh&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>A quick look at the watch told me it was time to pack up the gear and head back to the office, ending my quick jaunt for the morning.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for looking!<br \/>\nTom<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another crappy morning weather-wise today.
