175 West
I decided to go out on 'eclipse day' to see what it was like. Since Rhode Island wasn't in the zone of totality it wasn't that impressive with about 8% of the sun remaining visible.
Basically it looked like the world just suddenly became underexposed! The light was similar to a cloud covered day but felt a bit different because the flatness was perfectly uniform for a few brief minutes.
More than 30 min after peak coverage you'd never have even known anything special had happened as the sky was once again brilliant and beautifu, so I captured this one last train then headed home. Amtrak train 175, a Boston to Washington Regional cruises railroad west over Apponaug Cove at MP 174.5 on Amtrak's New Haven Line main with the standard ACS64 leading a string of veteran Amfleets.
