working after wet<\/a> radio remote trigger – and started walking towards the river.\u00a0 As I was walking south along the river, a chirp came across my scanner.\u00a0 Looking back over my shoulder I saw a trio of headlights to the north – it was NR-2 north of the Mohegan-Pequot bridge.\u00a0 Should be perfect timing.<\/p>\nI got to the south end of the cove, and first thing I set up the 20D on a tripod about 20 yards east of the tracks with the wide angle lens on it.\u00a0 Then set up the radio remote to trigger it.\u00a0 Once that was set, I headed back to the edge of the ballast to get my head on telephoto shot with the 40D.\u00a0 Just then, NR-2 came into view from under the bridge to the north.<\/p>\n
About a minute later, the train crossed into Ledyard, and came into view.<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixthumb:8599]\n
And as the train rolled into the sunlight, I got a shot of them crossing the inlet to Stoddard Cove<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixthumb:8598]\n
Finally, a moment later, I triggered the 20D, getting a shot over the water<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixthumb:8597]\n
Well, that worked out rather well.\u00a0 I could have framed the 20D a bit better, but not too bad for the first attempt.\u00a0 Anyways, as the train rolled past, Rod gave a hello on the horn.\u00a0 After they cleared me, I made my way back to the car, and headed to the office for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n
Thanks for looking!

OK, two of three – this time it took place at Stoddard Cove in Ledyard, and the usual suspect of Providence & Worcester train NR-2.\u00a0 But because of the magic of technology, I was able to get two angles of the train at pretty much the same time – basically the same thing as being in two places at once.<\/p>\n
