Sunday finally brought on the snow we'd all been hoping for...
Photo #25 - Most folks would be disappointed their train trip started in snow and rain. Most of us photographers were overjoyed.
Photo #26 - The annual winter photo train left promptly at 8, and Motor 5 left fifteen minutes behind. Here, the motorman takes us through the snow through downtown Durango. In other news, the Goose has a new bus heater mounted to the floor of the cab and piped into the radiator. When it's working hard, that thing is practically nuclear with the amount of energy it puts out.
Photo #27/28 - First runby, just north of the 550 bridge and some large, wet, heavy snow. Train (led by 473) and Goose both.
Photo #29 - Up at the high bridge over the Animas
