Continuing on the catching up tasks – here’s some stuff from October 17th. I managed to catch not only Providence & Worcester train NR-2, but also a Virginia class fast attack submarine heading out to sea.
A couple weeks ago, good friend and fellow photographer Bob LaMay and I took a ride out to the Metro North Croton-Harmon shops for their annual open house. With some time limitations on both of our parts, we planned our day out, instead of using the usual “wing-it” scheduling I’m […]
Playing a bit of catch-up here. These shots are from last week – the 15th and 16th, of Providence & Worcester train NR-2 in Ledyard, Groton and New London, and a tied down New England Central train NERWNE in South Windham.

Since getting my Lumedyne setup, I’ve wanted to head down to Essex and shoot the Valley Railroad’s steam engines after a day’s work. Last night, I got that chance – nice calm night, and a little free time to make the hour long trip from home to Essex. So I […]
On my way into my daughter’s gymnastics practice in Willimantic, I came across New England Central train NERWPA working the yard in Willimantic, preparing to head north to Palmer, MA. Of course, I grabbed the camera and took a few shots of the train around the Bridge Street area.
