Really nice light and sky on this one: Housatonic RR train NX-13 is seen idling on the wye track just south of the historic Canaan Union Station on a frigid but sunny Thursday, January 13.

cool photos, Jon
Neat but dangerous. when we plowed out the Naugy there were several grade crossings so packed with snow it started to lift the traction motors/wheels off the rails and almost hung up the engine. i would not want to do this at speed.
Fine photos. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Good Stuff Jon!
Nice pics Thanks Jon
Al Pomeroy said:I had the same thought Al. The engineer was the Superintendent of Operations - so if he derailed there was no one to fire over it :) When looking at the pictures you can't tell the snow consistency. These were shot on the 14th and the snow was very fluffy and light, except at the grade crossings.

Beautiful pics!
Man - I wish I could get out to the railroad after a fresh snow. John Bazan gets more great shots this week. Here Housatonic RR train NX-11 is seen passing the old station at Kent CT heading south for Danbury and points East…
