Another nice blue sky day today, one I had to take advantage of.\u00a0 So I headed out for my walk this morning, hoping to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 in Ledyard.\u00a0 I did bag them, along with a couple things floating on the water – one with NR-2, and one when I went out for lunch.
\n<\/p>\n

This morning, I headed to my usual spot in Ledyard – Erickson Park and Mill Cove.\u00a0 I got there a few minutes before NR-2.\u00a0 So I picked my spot at the south end of the cove just as I heard a chirp on the scanner – they weren’t that far off.<\/p>\n

A few moments later, NR-2 started sounding for the crossing at Red Top, and came into view.\u00a0 Boy was it a huge train – all of one car!\u00a0 That’s OK – I still shot it as it rolled along the cove.<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixthumb:8810] [cpg_imagefixthumb:8809] [cpg_imagefixthumb:8808]\n

And I just made it to my spot south of the Thames River drawbridge to catch them crossing the river.\u00a0 But as a bonus, one of the Sub Base Police boats was leaving the fuel dock as NR-2 was rolling over the River.\u00a0 Note the machine gun on the bow…<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixthumb:8807] [cpg_imagefixthumb:8806] [cpg_imagefixthumb:8805]\n

And the 12 axle train crossed into New London, and continued west, as I headed back to the office.<\/p>\n

But that’s not the end of it all. \u00a0 I headed out for lunch, and after I got it, I took a ride by the Thames River.\u00a0 No, I didn’t catch a train, but rather a Los Angeles class sub heading out of the Sub Base – not sure which boat it was though.\u00a0 So I got a few shots of her heading south towards the open sea.<\/p>\n[cpg_album:535]\n

With the shots of the 688I class sub in the bag, I headed to the office for the remainder of the day.\u00a0 Not a bad day overall.<\/p>\n

Thanks for looking!
