Thanks & hope to see some of you on the 16th of October!
Recently I put on a slideshow for the New England/Northeast Railroad Prototype Modeler’s Meet in Canton, CT. The show was titled “Beyond Mikado Reborn” and featured photos that appeared in my article in the March 2012 issue of Railfan & Railroad magazine, as well as many others that didn’t make it into the article. It’s a retrospective look back at the reconstruction of the Valley Railroad’s 2-8-2 No 3025 over about the last year of the project. The slideshow also includes a number of photos of the Mikado in action – from her first night in revenue service, to some photos from the Lerro Productions photo charter in May 2012. For those of you in the eastern Connecticut area, I’d like to invite you to the Photographer’s Reception at the Marlborough Arts Center in Marlborough, Connecticut Friday evening, the 13th of April. As I’ve mentioned previously, I’m exhibiting six photographs in the Center’s first annual Photography Expo, and there’s a great variety of other work there as well from a number of area photographers. Also, there is a raffle and silent auction taking place which will benefit the Arts Center – one of the prizes is a large print (11×17 matted and framed to 16×20) I donated of the Providence & Worcester skirting along the Thames River in the snow. The reception goes from 7 to 9pm, and appetizers, punch and wine will be provided – of course, I’ll be there all evening. Also, a guitarist will be playing during the reception. All the info is on the card pictured below. If you haven’t been down yet, this is a great opportunity to head down, check out the photos, and chat with the photographers. I hope to see some of you there Friday evening!

And we continue on with the blog updates – hooray! Here’s Part 2 of the 
Yes, it’s been a while since the last “real” photo blog post. So we’ll go back in time here to May when I attended a three part, two day photo charter on the Valley Railroad in Essex, CT (I mentioned this charter back in 
Continuing on the posts from the past, we’ll go back another month – to the start of April 2012 where I took a hike up to Poquetanuck Cove on the Preston/Ledyard town line. It was a nice day, and I could not only enjoy a nice walk along the river, but also sit on the edge of a small cliff and get a few photos along the Thames River.
Here we go folks – starting to clear out the backlog of posts! For this first post in quite a while, we’ll go back to the beginning of May 2012 where the Providence & Worcester Railroad took Valley Railroad Mikado No 3025 for a spin around Amtrak’s Old Saybrook wye – which also brought it under the wires of Amtrak’s electrified Shore Line.
I had the pleasure of being invited to the Connecticut Southern Railroad’s Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting ceremony for their new offices and locomotive/car shops in Hartford, CT on April 5, 2012 – not only as a guest, but also as a photographer. And with a lunch from Black Eyed Sally’s included, how could I miss it? BBQ and trains on a spring day…oh, yeah, well worth burning a vacation day at work.
Managed to find a little time for a walk this morning, so I decided to head up to Poquetanuck Cove again on the Preston/Ledyard line and get a mile of walking in. It was a little breezy, but not as windy as it was last week (
On Friday March 30th, the Providence & Worcester Railroad ran an extra from Worcester, MA to Willimantic, CT to handle the interchange traffic to and from the New England Central Railroad. It turned out to be a very nice day, weather-wise, and with summer hours upon us here at work, I decided to take advantage of the open afternoon and chase the train between Plainfield, CT and Willimantic, making many stops along the way – some familiar, and some more experimental. Overall, I think they all worked rather well.
