Canadian Railroads > Winter pictures?

Aw, what the heck, lots of great "winter" shots over on the other boards, maybe us Canucks ought to post some of our favorites as well, after all isn't Canada the "Great White North". Lets see your shots of winter. Hey BCOL 4601 has a great shot of the BCOL 4601 slogging up Alexandria.

These pictures were taken at Dunkly BC, train 470, Nov 3, 2007, ah told my Conductor that I had to make a "nature break" during our switching moves there, I had to chuckle when I got back in the cab, over the radio "once you are finished taking your "foamer pictures" you can backup anytime you are ready, it's f@#k%ng cold out here, OVER".

Photo 1 at Kenora ON. reminds me of our trip on the Canadian in Jan. 2005 and how the vestibules looked when we arrived in Winnipeg eastbound! I was certainly glad that I'd quit smoking about five years before then, because I certainly didn't envy the smokers who were freezing their butts on the platform while I sat in the Park car with a hot coffee!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,8>)

And it was 26C today in Melbourne, Florida...these pics all helped me remember what railroading in the snow looks like!

Warm and cozy in the Skyline car aboard #2 as we meet a CN westbound in January 2009...

Great shots everyone. Sort of a "Day in Canada" to coin Dale Sander's phrase.
