The start of January 2013 brought some cold temperatures to Connecticut, and it also brought some vacation time to me. On the third day of the new year – a day that started out with the mercury diving to about 5°F – I decided to head out for some train shooting. And me being the [...]

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 [...] 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 (here’s that post), so I could actually feel my [...] What I’d do for my photography. On Tuesday I had a small hole in the schedule, so I decided to head out for a nice, nearly mile-long hike along the Thames River to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2. That was all fine and good, but I neglected to remember that we were coming off [...] Last week I had a chance to not only get out and shoot for a bit, but I also worked a nice 1.5 mile hike in as well. The only downside to that is I only got to shoot from one location. But that’s OK – I think things worked out just fine at that [...] The next installment of the backlog clearing is from the 26th of July, when I caught a pretty good sized Providence & Worcester train NR-2 at a couple spots along the Thames River. The only remarkable thing about this train – despite the length – is that the lead power was a pair of EMD [...] On a foggy April 26th I got a call from a friend that Providence & Worcester train NR-2 was southbound out of Plainfield with a short train. With a hole in my schedule, I figured it was worthwhile to head out and catch them at Stoddard Hill in Ledyard, CT. As things unfolded, not only [...] Friday I had a dentist appointment, so I had to leave work a bit early. As luck had it, Providence & Worcester train NR-2 was leaving Tilcon in Groton as I was leaving the parking lot, getting ready to head home. I figured it was worth a shot to try and catch them on the [...] Thursday the third of June started out with some pretty thick fog here in southeastern Connecticut. And in that fog, a few trains rain – one regular job, and two extras. As luck would have it, I managed to lens each of those – well, in one form or another. [...] Starting out a new month with the waters around the Thames receding from our recent bout with lots and lots of water – and a little luck as things panned out. Actually, I wasn’t exactly expecting to get out & shoot after hearing Amtrak had shut down all service between New Haven and Boston today [...] |
