Passenger Trains > Gone Fishing

An 18 degree morning hasn't discouraged a group of young kids from their quest to catch a few fish in Utah's Deer Creek Reservoir. Meanwhile, Heber Valley Railroad's 'Lakeside Limited' rambles by on the west side of the lake with UP NW2 #1011 leading the charge in historic 'Challenger' livery.

Do I see people in an open car right behind the loco? Can you spell COLD!?

Indeed! I was amazed at how many folks braved the cold mountain air.

So who is more foolish:
-Ice fishermen who don't do it from the comfort of a nice warm shack complete with a TV and a case of beer?
Or
-Railfans who want to ride an open acr in the dead of winter instead of the comfort of a heated coach?

My vote is a tie!

Gotta have a way of toting it out there, pockets can only hold so much!

If it's Utah, it's not Diet Coke, it's a non-caffeinated soda.

Oh my, you apparently don't live in Utah. Cold caffeine in soda is everywhere, all the time. Coca Cola and Pepsi are Utah's coffee and tea.
