It’s that time of year again – calendar time! I haven’t done this in a few years, so I decided to give it a whirl for 2010. I’ve created a 12 month calendar featuring some of my recent night photography around Connecticut and Massachusetts – including both museum and commercial railroad operations titled Railroads After Dark – 2010 Calendar
Not much green today for St. Patrick’s Day – the plant life has yet to bloom around here, and, well, the P&W’s colors don’t involve any shade of green. How ’bout blue skies and some track the P&W hasn’t turned a wheel on all that many times in the past few years?
Think the title is kinda cryptic, eh? Pretty simple if you think about it – three trains and a submarine crossed by my lens on Tuesday morning. Oh, yeah, and for a change, the sun was shining!
In the aftermath of the P&W derailment in South Windham last week, contractors had emptied out and rerailed the cars that came off the tracks. The three that ended up on their sides/tops, were placed on the spur track near Route 203 in South Windham. On my way up to UConn, I took a swing by and got a few shots.
As some of you may know a unit ethanol train ran between North Dakota and Providence, RI, carried by a various number of railroads – the last two were the New England Central and the Providence & Worcester. Well, as the schedule worked out, the NECR and P&W sections were to take place under cover of darkness. But that never stopped me, so I decided to head out and do a little nocturnal photography. Of course, that’s not all that came of this train – things changed after I left them in the wee hours.
So, as I had alluded to in my 
Sunday was an eventful day, photographically speaking. So I’ll be dividing it up into two parts – day and night. For the daytime, I had one chance encounter, and one planned. The chance involved the New England Central Railroad, and the planned was up at my alma mater – the University of Connecticut.
With a successful morning walk 
Had a bit of a frustrating day at work yesterday. So I decided I needed to get out and go on a nice walk somewhere to relax a bit this morning. And while I was contemplating where to go at my desk, I got my answer over the scanner. Well, at least it was the first part of my answer. Part two was decided on the road…
Well, all that rain we’ve been getting lately finally turned into some snow overnight and this morning. Granted it wasn’t sticking to the pavement all that much – but that was a good thing. It meant the ground would be somewhat white, and I could safely get there with my front wheel drive Hyundai.
I didn’t get a chance to head out today – kinda swamped at work. So instead of not posting anything, I took a break from the Olympics and scanned a couple slides in. At least we’ll keep things somewhat fresh here…granted the pictures are at least 6 years old…
