Western Railroad Discussion > Winter Begins!!!Date: 12/09/12 11:18 Winter Begins!!! Author: rrartist Well it appears it's going to be a white Christmas in the Upper Midwest as the snow that was promised has began to fall and fall hard! I set up over in Dakota MN for CP train #283, CP #8934 as it sliced thru the snow. It met CP #270 just west of town at the Donehower Siding. CP #270 was really making the snow fly as the ICE #6429 and three sisters powered by - SWEET!!!

The four SD40-2s sure had a nice sound moving that tonnage just south of La Crescent. Over on the BNSF side, my son Andrew is the hogger on the North Local today with a fairly new GP35 rebuild, BNSF #2660. And last, Amtrak #8 splits the home signals for Grand Crossing on the north-side of La Crosse WI.

going elsewhere, sigh. Date: 12/09/12 11:46 Re: Winter Begins!!! Author: NS4271 Amtrak train 8 at Essex, MT. when I was there this past October. My other shot is of the BNSF units in the snow at Essex, posted earlier.
I rode Amtrak from Pa. to Essex and return on this visit to MT. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/09/12 12:19 by NS4271.  Date: 12/09/12 11:56 Re: Winter Begins!!! Author: Milw_E70 The weather guessers were all saying rain and snow here today in Kansas...oddly enough it's sunny, breezy, and upper 30s.
