SNOW is a four-letter word.    

Welcome to Midweek Photos.  Actually, I don't mind snow very much, but it's cruel friend, ICE, always seems to be lurking around whenever snow is near. 

However, some neat photos were to be found in Steamtown after the last few rounds of "the white stuff" fell on our neighborhood.

The above three photos were taken December 7, late in the afternoon.  Delaware-Lackawanna power rests in the Steamtown yard.  The late day sun shows off interesting details in the ALCO locomotives' construction.

And two of the Steamtown turntable area on December 15.  Illinois Central RR 790 is 110 years old this year.

Time now for you folks to join in with a photo or two or more of your railroading adventures.  The year is almost up. Next week is the Year in Review edition, and I would like to see what you have to share with us on your expeditions.

The snow is still very much on the ground here, no surprise.  However, I've been very busy doing a hundred things this week.   As I shovel off my driveway after dinner, the trains climb the grade a mile from my house, blowing their horns.  They are calling me to come play with them out in the darkness, but they'll have to wait until next week.  The weekend after Thanksgiving I did get out and took some photos of some horses.  I was giving trains a rest for a few days.  Horses are such curious animals, and basically act like big puppies.  Three shots below, first two from Iowa and the third from Minnesota.  (Not that the horses knew where they were, I guess.)

A new video - Christmas Hopper Jet - has been posted at www.youtube.com. The "Four-and-a-Quarter" headed a consist of 5 newly painted R&N AMERICA'S / LARGEST / ANTHRACITE/ CARRIER hoppers through the snow today (Dec. 20) on the Reading main line between Port Clinton, Reading and Pottsville. The train turned on the wye at Mill Creek Jct. These photos were taken at Jim Thorpe on Labor Day this year.
