In continuing with my slide-scanning binge, I decided to dig out a few of my photos of the Housatonic Railroad – one of the least photographed roads in my catalog (something I hope to remedy over the summer). Looking at the shots, though, it appears that the last time I […]

Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to…well, I guess you could drink this if you really had to (apologies to Samuel Taylor Coleridge). If you’re anywhere along the eastern US coast, you’ve been subjected to days and days of rain. Well, all that rain, along with melting snow up […]
I sure don’t. The railroads run 24/7 in any weather – so why should they only be documented on sunny days? And with today’s deluge, I figured it was a good opportunity to show a little railroading in the crappy, dreary weather, while getting out for a bit.
I’ve been doing a bit of spring cleaning in the office here at home, and in the process I came across a stack of slides I needed to file back into the binders. Well, while doing that, I came across one slide that caught my eye – it was taken […]
Busy evening last night and busy day today, so this is a little catch up from yesterday’s shooting. I was able to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 under some different weather conditions. And throw into the mix Amtrak train 171 at the start of things. Oh, yeah, and like […]

Quick one tonight – actually the shot is from yesterday, the first day of spring. The little one (Callie, age 5) called me over to see a crocus bloom in the yard yesterday before we went out for a ride. So with it being the first bloom of the year, […]
Another sunny day today that I was able to take advantage of (tomorrow’s another story – got morning meetings). So keeping with my near avoidance of the Providence & Worcester’s Norwich Branch, I only got a couple shots of them in Fairview Yard, then headed over to Niantic to get […]
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 […]
