August 23, 2016, I made this bright morning view of a short southward New England Central freight at Stafford Springs, Connecticut.

The attraction was the single GP38 wearing the classing blue and gold paint in rich morning sun.

Over the years, I’d photographed trains in Stafford Springs (Stafford on the railroad) from many angles. On this morning, I was pleased to get this view without any automobiles in the way of the train, and feature the row of brick buildings behind the tracks.
