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 some shots over there. But [...] 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 few years? Think the title is kinda cryptic, eh? Pretty simple if you think about it – three trains and a submarine crossed by my lens on Tuesday morning. Oh, yeah, and for a change, the sun was shining! In the aftermath of the P&W derailment in South Windham last week, contractors had emptied out and rerailed the cars that came off the tracks. The three that ended up on their sides/tops, were placed on the spur track near Route 203 in South Windham. On my way up to UConn, I took a swing [...] As some of you may know a unit ethanol train ran between North Dakota and Providence, RI, carried by a various number of railroads – the last two were the New England Central and the Providence & Worcester. Well, as the schedule worked out, the NECR and P&W sections were to take place under cover [...] So, as I had alluded to in my previous post, I had plans for Sunday evening. And those plans were to meet up with friend & fellow photographer Nick Palazini to do a little night shooting. We were going to continue our experiment of shooting two cameras at the same time along with synchronized flashes [...] Sunday was an eventful day, photographically speaking. So I’ll be dividing it up into two parts – day and night. For the daytime, I had one chance encounter, and one planned. The chance involved the New England Central Railroad, and the planned was up at my alma mater – the University of Connecticut. With a successful morning walk yesterday, I figured I’d head down to Niantic again this morning and see how things panned out. As you can tell by the title, things worked out rather well. Had a bit of a frustrating day at work yesterday. So I decided I needed to get out and go on a nice walk somewhere to relax a bit this morning. And while I was contemplating where to go at my desk, I got my answer over the scanner. Well, at least it was the [...] Well, all that rain we’ve been getting lately finally turned into some snow overnight and this morning. Granted it wasn’t sticking to the pavement all that much – but that was a good thing. It meant the ground would be somewhat white, and I could safely get there with my front wheel drive Hyundai. |
