When in doubt, try again. Earlier in the week Mike Gardner and I had missed the New England Central at Millers Falls, Massachusetts. It wasn’t for a lack of trying, but we’d misqued, got caught in traffic, and just not been at the right place at the right time. This happens.
It was a bright morning. From recent experience I knew that New England Central job 611 departs Brattleboro Yard for Palmer sometime after 8 am.
I drove directly to Millers Falls, I did not pass Go, I did not collect $200. I parked and walked (I fought my way through thicket and briars) to a known good spot on a rock near the shore of the Millers River and there I waited.
This was my reward. And yes, I also exposed a color slide.

There’s a severe speed restriction on the Millers Falls bridge which allows ample time to work two cameras.
I’m so enjoying your daily posts, Brian. And I love your Ireland photography. I visited for the 2nd time a year ago, both Dublin and Wexford Opera. I’ve always admired your sense of adventure. Looking forward, of course, to the B&A book.
Beautiful photo Brian, i know the feeling when things work out, how did you manage a colour slide, was the train moving slowly over the bridge, giving you time to work 2 cameras.
