Cold day on the loop but the ride was GREAT

I went up to take pictures in the cold and snow.
I thought it would be nice to have some good steam pictures. A very BIG THANKS to those I met, Skip, Sam, Phil, Natshia and others...
Made me feel like I had know them for years...
What a professional family. Just wish they would be together next year.
Today will be one I will remember for a long time. I felt like a kid at Christmas with a new train set and everyone was explaining how it all worked.
The smell of the #40 and snow in my face.
Now I will have to clean up before the wife come home and finds out what I did all day.......
Coming from someone that grew up around the loop and have seen it grow over the years...
THANKS AGAIN for my best memory of the Loop..
Sorry I wont be able to ride Sunday (Alaska is calling me).
