The Steam Railroading Institute's North Pole Express is well on its way to the arctic North Pole on December 18, as snow had just recently stopped falling but blanketed the ground nicely. The Pere Marquette 2-8-4 #1225 is Christmas ready with a full plume above the train.
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
