Snow and steam never fails to look beautiful and set the calendar back a bit.

Beautiful pictures! We don't have snow up north here yet. I agree; the look of an old steamer being snowed upon never fails to be amazingly beautiful!

This is that storm that hit yesterday? Supposed to be heavy, wet, white stuff. And, yeah, steam and snow just somehow go together well. !!*ok*!!

Do you happen to have a higher-res version of the third one? That'd make a nice desktop background.

I wouldn't mind a higher res version of the first one and the third one, if you have them. You do know I've removed the size limit on attached images now, since I've installed that HighSlide image viewer.

Woah a PRR tower and position light in no danger of being removed! That's a wonderful place, was up there in 2008, sadly didn't get to see the Strasburg RR, was across the road the RR museum of PA.

You should. :) Nothing like being pulled by steam. Get there before noon, and pay $20 and you get a tour of where the magic happens. :)

One place on the tour is still off limits to protect Lilly Belle. Apparently Disney wants as little people as possible to know it's in there. But someone did get a photo (finally, engine is in the far back).
