Central Maine & Quebec in the snow.
Author: kgmontreal

Following a major snowstorm on Tuesday southern Quebec is blanketed in crisp white snow. With temperatures at -15C yesterday there was no chance for melting which would have dirtied the snow. CMQ put on a good show at Farnham yesterday with #1 arriving and a Farnham to Sherbrooke freight heading east.

Our first shots were #1 arriving Farnham. Then 3817 and 9011 departed. They were shot at Fulford and Eastman.

NO thank you. Great shots. It was 35F here the other day and that was cold to me (and I spend 1/4 of my life in an ice rink...)

Beautiful shot at Eastman. Reminded me of my winter chases along the line.

Happy Holidays,

The trees are becoming a problem at the Eastman trestle.

The color scheme on the CM&Q units almost looks like camouflage for that type weather.

Lovely shots in great conditions. I am puking with envy; since I shot in fire smoke on the Wainwright July 19, I've taken one other train photo on an opportunity crossing CN near Uncas. It has not been a good year for the hobby, with life circumstances, and what was a cruddy summer weather-wise.
