The days are short. I practice some night photography. I really should try my portable spotlight, there's rarely a streetlight where I need it.
So there's 3 big locomotives sitting in Wisconsin Rapids in the early evening.
And I'm fiddling with a tripod and camera settings and focusing in the dark,
I grab what I can and still botch it. It's not the same scene. In seconds, the best one is rolling away into the distance. |

Or I could re-create it by taking some views on other nights, and stitch them into a panoramic. If I could match the zoom setting. And the light snow that gave some glow to the sky. I just need the engine that got away on the left. That happens occasionally on that side, it's a convenient parking spot for a crew to get to the yard office. What was rare was 3 spread out so nicely. |

Back in Plover on another night. I could make believe the brick building is a depot, but it's just a bank. |
We now have about 12 inches of snow accumulated in some areas.
The last snow was fluffy and came straight down, 5 inches deep.
The Christmas trees have a big coating and the lights look bigger than they are.
It's the end of another year, but not the end of the world (Mayan calendar)

I offer a big thank you to all the poeple
who post pictures and news on the internet.
It's been interesting when a few people emailed me about some historical questions,
and people on the Yahoo groups have been very helpful to gather information to get answers.

I don't travel as much as I used to,
and enjoy seeing railroad action from around the world.
Especially Utah, and Chile. Those places are so remote that it looks like another planet.
