Against the Sun at Millers

After photographing Pan Am Southern’s eastward ED8 passing searchlight signals at Lake Pleasant (See Monday’s Post), the chase was on! Kris Sabbatino and I rolled eastward after the 106 car freight as it ascended the grade up the valley of the Millers River. At Millers Falls, Massachusetts, we paused at the overhead bridge near the center of town that spans both former Boston & Maine and…

NECR on the Millers Falls High Bridge.

Here’s a view I exposed of New England Central’s northward 611 crossing the 1905-built Millers Falls High Bridge at Millers Falls, Massachusetts on January 24, 2020.

This former Central Vermont Railway bridge has long been a favorite of mine.

Millers Falls High Bridge—Two Views.

Why make one photo and when you can get two?

I like to work with more than one form of media.

In this instance, New England Central’s southward 611 (Brattleboro to Palmer turn) was crawling across the antique Millers Falls Highbridge in its namesake Massachusetts town.

My vantage point was the 2007-built rt63 highway bridge.

This is more than a century older than the parallel railway…

Millers Falls High Bridge—October 2015.

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 mis-queued, 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…

      Hung out in Millers Falls where they were filming "The Judge" again today and saw Robert Downey Jr. for the second time! There was a line of people on the sidewalk that were waiting for him to come and sign autographs... I waited for 2 hours, some people waited longer.

      He came up in his car and tipped his hat at us which was funny and then he went and rehearsed. A little while later he came back and went across the street where we all were and signed autographs and made sure he signed autographs for all the little kids.

      Sadly, he got to sign autographs for everyone except one part of the line of people which happened to be my part because he had to leave. When he was walking back over across the street you could tell he was upset he didn't get to everybody. He then noticed he missed a couple of little kids that were in my part of the line and like I said before, he was making sure he got autographs for all the little kids, so he waved them and their mother over and he took pictures with the little kids! It was so cute and nice of him!
