By the time I was able to head out, the train was already within 10 minutes of the Sub Base.  So I decided to head to a spot I haven&#8217;t been to in a while.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nI got to the <em>USS Nautilus<\/em> overlook park a couple minutes before the train arrived.  So I walked around, and decided which angle would work best with the slight fog and light rain that was falling.  The wide angle overlooking a very calm cove would do the trick today.  Not long after changing lenses the crossing gate at the US Submarine Force Museum, which is also the permanent home of the <em>Nautilus<\/em>, activated and the gates dropped.  Next I was greeted by NR-2s horn, and finally the train.  But where&#8217;s the rest of it?  Yep, only a light engine move this morning.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">[cpg_imagefixthumb:2661]\n<p> Once they passed, I headed south of Amtrak&#8217;s Northeast Corridor to get a shot across the Thames River bridge.  Well, other things were in the cards, and NR-2 was held longer than I could wait, so I had to settle for one shot of a westbound Amtrak, train #171, crossing the bridge as the prep work for replacing the bridge continued below.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">[cpg_imagefixthumb:2660]\n<p>Since there was no sign of NR-2 making it onto the shoreline in any short time frame, I decided to call it a morning and head back.
