Some P&W and Amtrak from last week
As seems to be the recent norm for me, I’m running a bit behind on my postings. I did manage to get out a few times last week, and caught some Providence & Worcester and Amtrak action along the Thames River. So we’ll keep this brief and just let you enjoy the photos.
I’ll keep the mindless blather to a minimum, and just put the photos out there. So here they are!
