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 [...] Last week I was down in New Jersey again for work, and as has been my usual practice, the cameras and Lumedyne have come along for the ride. Instead of doing a post for each time I went out to shoot, I’m just going to roll everything up into one post…easier that way. Snowbirds – the term used for people who live here in the north and “migrate” south to Florida in the winters. As some of you may know, a pair of Florida East Coast Railway GP40s have been leased to the New England Central Railroad, and are making their way up here from their warm home [...] Now that we’re safely nestled into the new year I normally pick out some of my favorite shots from the previous year (2008 & 2007 for example) as a kind of retrospective look at what I shot over the past 365.25 days. This year I decided to narrow it down a bit to one subject I’ve [...] While down here in the Sunshine State, I’ve been talking with a few of the local FEC fans about the goings-on along the railroad. One of them, who lives up by Ft. Pierce, invited me up to check out the area, as well as an FEC 0-8-0 undergoing restoration. As it worked out, I was [...] Later on New Year’s Day I figured I could head out and catch the northbound FEC Extra job (train #240) out of Miami as they rolled through the area. So after putting the kids to bed, I checked out ATCS Monitor to check on 240’s progress north. After a little while, I saw them coming [...] Been down here in Florida for a few days now, but haven’t had a chance to head trackside. Tonight was the first time I was able to get out – and with the help of ATCS Monitor, I was able to catch a FEC freight in Boca Raton, FL. Only problem was my timing. On my last night in NJ, I decided to head up to Whippany, NJ to check out the Whippany Railway Museum out and photograph some of their equipment. As things worked out, not only did I stop in Whippany, but I also swung through Morristown and checked out the Morristown & Erie shops, where I [...] I’m down in New Jersey for work this week taking a training class that unfortunately runs until after sunset. So I’ve had a few chances to play with the Lumedyne at night. So far I’ve been able to get out twice – once on the CSX Trenton Line in NJ and once on the Norfolk Southern Reading [...] |
