On our recent visit to Windsor Locks, Connecticut, I made a series of photographs of an Amtrak Sunday-only Springfield to Washington DC train making its station stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the relatively near future this entire scene is expected to change. Amtrak’s P42 diesels are reaching the end of their useful lives, and Amtrak’s Amfleet replacement cars are on order. Plans have also been made to build a new and improved station for Windsor Locks about a mile north of the present station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The present Windsor Locks station is pretty basic. It lacks amenities, features just a short platform, and is scenically bereft. Yet, I’ve made many photos here over the last forty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Documenting change is more than just making pretty pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These views were exposed digitially using my Nikon Z digital cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
