Harbinger of Things to Come
With a big winter storm predicted to slam Southern New England in the next few days hopefully I'll be ale to get out for some with the wonderland shooting. So far I've only had one chance at good snowy shots when we got a freak pre-Halloween storm. Here is another shot from that fun day a month and a half ago.
Connecticut was graced with its first major snowfall of the year the day before Halloween. While some places north of the state line saw accumulations up to two inches here in the northeastern section of the Nutmeg state it was heavy and wet but didn't build up too much.
Having just come down from Palmer with New England Central train 608, his day is just about done. He has to do a bit of switching here to spot and pull Willimantic Waste Paper Inc., the NECR's busiest customer in the area. Once that work is done they will pull down just a couple hundred yards and park on the main beside their office that sits at about MP 29.5 of the Palmer Sub and call it a day.
