Nearing the End

Waxhaw, NC  2021



Does anyone else miss the caboose that was always at the end of a long freight train?  I'm sure some of my "more mature" readers remember them.

More Train

Waxhaw, NC  2021


Check out the crowd of people on the pedestrian bridge over the tracks.  That's definitely the best place to be to watch the trains.  Clicking on a picture will give you a larger view.

CSX

Waxhaw, NC  2021


At one time, I think Waxhaw was serviced by a passenger line, but now a days the line is used just for freight.   This particular train had 97 cars of all shapes and sizes.  The tracks run right through the downtown business district and everyone downtown stops to watch.

Acela Express

Niantic, CT  2019

Amtrak trains don't have a stop in Niantic.  The closest train stations are in New London and Old Saybrook, both of which are pretty convenient, so there is no need for a train station here.

Union Station-New London

Enough about me.  Time to return to regular programming.  This shot was taken late May as I awaited departure on the ferry to Orient Point, NY

Badlands

Disneyland, CA  2018

If it weren't for the construction cranes in the background one might easily think this a trip through the western badlands.  I think the cranes are being used to construct the latest Disneyland attraction set to open in 2020... Star Wars World.

Amtrak

New London, CT  2017

I can't help myself.  If I see a train and I have my camera with me,  I just have to photograph it.

Shoreline East

New London, CT  2017

The Shoreline East is a commuter train that runs between New London and New Haven.  With all the weeds seen, you'd think this is an abandoned track, but it is just one end of the line.

Acela

Niantic, CT  2017

The Acela train is Amtrak's "high speed" express train that runs along the Northeast Corridor line from Boston to Washington D.C.  It only stops in New Haven in Connecticut.

Wonderment

Essex, CT  2016

I'm not sure who enjoys watching the trains more, Colin or his grandpa....
