This time I headed a bit further north to the overlook on Poquetanuck Cove on the Ledyard\/Preston town line.

So I grabbed the camera, and set up the shots.  I got them pulling across the causeway seperating the cove from the Thames River:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">[cpg_imagefixthumb:2647] [cpg_imagefixthumb:2646]\n<p> Then it was back to the office.  Hey, wait a second, don&#8217;t click away yet &#8211; I&#8217;m not done here.  After lunch, I popped across the river to check out what&#8217;s going on at the Winthrop Cove trestle at the south end of the NECR yard.  The work on the trestle is what prompted the P&amp;W to move their interchange with the New England Central Railroad to Willimantic temporarily. A MoW crew was hard at work in the middle of the trestle.  Looks like they&#8217;re replacing tie plates at this point.  I had seen somewhere that replacing some of the timbers would be done &#8211; perhaps that&#8217;s already completed and they&#8217;re starting to wrap things up.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">[cpg_imagefixthumb:2645]\n<p align=\"left\">OK, now that&#8217;s it.
