On the Valley Line Today (literally, this morning)

I've mentioned before that I come by my interest in the Valley Line honestly - I worked on the line as a steam locomotive fireman in the late '80s/early '90s and, after being away for almost 20 years, I'm back - not only firing, but I live only a stone's throw from the line.

Occasionally, the train makes it down to Old Saybrook.  When it does, it crosses right over my street.  This morning was just such an occasion - so I thought it'd be fun to get down to the crossing and get a video to share with you.

As you'll see, I'm a pretty lucky guy to have this almost literally in my backyard...
