While on the roll with Mass-Central, I thought I\u2019d present some more of my latest views. Made over the last week or so, these\u00a0portray the railroad and its environs in the Ware River Valley.<\/p>\n

In my photography and writing, I believe that providing context is an important component of telling a story.<\/p>\n

Not all these photos depict trains, but together they are intended to paint a picture of modern railroading in this historic New England valley.<\/p>\n

Since Mass-Central\u2019s history is closely tied to the geography and industries that once-populated the Ware River Valley, to relay this story, it is important to capture more than just pretty pictures of the locomotive engine.<\/p>\n
