Wednesday – A train and a sub
OK, it’s Friday night, so I guess I can catch up. I managed to get out a few times this past week to shoot a bit. The weather was decent down here in southeastern Connecticut, so I took advantage of that. This one is from this past Wednesday where I caught Providence & Worcester train NR-2, along with a US Navy submarine heading out to sea.
We’ll keep it brief tonight (it’s late, I’m tired, and I have to get up early to head to Somerville, MA in the morning with Bob LaMay for the MVRS 2011 calendar judging luncheon). Short story is this – I caught NR-2 at Mill Cove with one whole boxcar. Then on my way south, I stumbled across a Los Angeles class fast attack sub heading out to sea. With them safely past the lift bridge, NR-2 crossed the river, this time with about 20 gondolas tacked onto the boxcar. That’s about it…so here’s the pix!
