Was able to get out a couple more times this week to catch P&W train NR-2 – yesterday while it was raining, and today when the sun was shining. Luckily yesterday, I got a heads-up from Nick Palazini who was chasing the train out of Plainfield with David Telesha so […]
I figured today would be a good one to take advantage of the blue skies and sunshine before the weather hit the shitter for the rest of the week. So I did my usual, and headed up to Erickson Park in Ledyard in hopes of catching Providence & Worcester train […]
Saturday we spent a nice day down at my family’s place in Old Lyme – the kids played at the beach, and we had a nice relaxing day of kids, burgers, hot dogs & beer (and juice for the kids). When we got home, as the girls were getting ready […]

Glorious sunshine. Had another day of blue skies and that bright orb in the sky that has been in such short supply lately. That coupled with a hole in my schedule this morning gave me the opportunity to head out and catch a little action. As things unfolded, I also […]
This year we unfortunately missed our hometown Independence Day fireworks in Lebanon, CT due to a family graduation party. To make up for it, we were able to head out to the Manchester, CT fireworks display, which was postponed from Friday the 3rd to Sunday the 5th. So we packed […]
