And we continue on the catch-up trek.\u00a0 Now we’re up to the 28th of October when I had to head up to Weston, MA for an EMC <\/a>conference.\u00a0 Of course, the camera bag came along, despite the crappy weather.\u00a0 But would I find any trains to shoot?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The location of the conference was literally right next to the CSX main in Weston, MA, so I figured after the conference was wrapped up, I’d head out & check things out.\u00a0 It was encouraging that I could hear trains rumble past every so often, so when I headed out I was optimistic.\u00a0 Of course, the optimism was short lived.<\/p>\n

I hung around for a while, without a single indication of a train.\u00a0 So I took a couple pictures of the tracks and the foliage, and hit the road.<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixthumb:8223] [cpg_imagefixthumb:8222]\n

Oh, well, time to head back home.\u00a0 And on the way home something else happened – snow!\u00a0 Well, for a little stretch between Willington and Mansfield.\u00a0 By the time I got to Willimantic, it was plain old cold rain.<\/p>\n

But there was more than rain in Willimantic – New England Central train NERWPA was heading out of town.\u00a0 So I took a quick stop and got a couple shots of the train pulling across Bridge Street, including one of the FEC SD40s (yeah, not the best shot, but what the hell – it was dark, rainy, and it was more action than I got in the daylight up in Weston).<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixthumb:8221] [cpg_imagefixthumb:8220] [cpg_imagefixthumb:8219]\n

After that, I packed the gear back up, and headed home for the evening.\u00a0 Not the best day, but at least it was something…<\/p>\n

Thanks for looking!
