The C.V.S.Ry. crew was a little peeved at management because the RR wouldn’t pay the guys to take a road trip to Agawam, MA to attend the largest train show in the area so they decided to fire Porter #3 and venture out over freshly fallen snow with a couple of cabeese. Overnight the area received about 2-3 scale inches of snow. Not enough to warrant running the wedge plow as it didn’t cover the rails in most spots. Just a perfect amount of snow for some photo ops even if it was cold 
Here’s #3 just about to enter Coal Dump Curve on the way up the hill…
Still heading up-grade above Indian Hill Junction…
And just about to enter Deep Cut Tunnel…
Shoving down the wye and banging through the diamond at the Walk Trans-Load Facility…
And through the crossing at WALK…
Having reversed again at Nothville, now crossing WALK again on the West leg…
And past the Rust Garden…
And back at Indian Hill Junction…
Downgrade into Coal Dump Curve on the return trip…
Back in the sun approaching the passenger platform at Wall…
By the time that last picture was taken the staff photographer’s fingers were about frozen so we retreated back to the warm shops to get back to work on Shay #5.
