It was a stunning sunny day in Fenwick thanks to a fresh layer of snow. I left the scanner on and ventured out to see a couple of the day's trains.
Although I haven't done much this year, I really do enjoy photography in the snow. I'm quite pleased with these winter photographs.
This morning I was just about to get my day going when I heard an unusual sounding horn approaching from the south. I noticed the day before that maintenance of way crews had dropped off some brand new ties. My guess was that the approaching train was this.
My guess proved to be accurate. I don't often see the hi-rail trucks pulling rail cars, so I was pleased to photograph this one.
Happy New Year.
After spending a nice New Year's Eve with my family I returned home for New Year's Day. I wasn't expecting much, but I turned the scanner on at home anyway. Luck was with me and the Hamilton Turn made an appearance in town. I waited for its northward return trip for a photograph in the excellent sun drenched, snowy landscape.
I was lucky with the clouds floating through the sky. Just after this photograph one interfered with the sun.
