It hard to take a picture of cold. It's not like taking pictures of snow flakes.
Wisconsin has some cold weather, temps down to minus ten F this week.
I start out with two pictures of an indoor event, the Artic Run model railroad show in Stevens Point last weekend. |
. . . .I think there is a model SALE show in La Crosse in January.
. . And a big complete model RR show is in Madison Feb 16-17, 2013.

Outdoors, it is cold winter. Short of daylight. The Rapids yard is being cleaned out daily; all the empty sand hoppers get stuffed into three sidings throughout the west side industrial park. |
| The headlight shines around the curve of the industrial park and glows on the end of a high refrigerated car by the WOW warehouse. |

On a cold windy Sunday morning, a switch job starts in Plover. I step out of the car quickly and snap this one picture and then dash back. And then I see a friendly wave from the cab window but I didn't get back out of the car. Was that you, Todd? It was cold outside, and I rushed off to church. (note, St. Brons is the only church where you can see a train from inside!) |

The Wisconsin River froze again. It didn't snow afterwards this time. A grey GTW is crossing. The steam from the paper mill makes a humongous cloud that shades the area from the morning sun. |

A KCS unit led a UP mixed freight north through Wisconsin Rapids. I haven't seen one in Wisconsin since the white KCS unit on a coal train 10 years ago. |
. . . . The picture would have been brighter, but the paper mill's steam cloud was so large it shaded the west side of town.
| And I can't show you a picture of the frustration of camera batteries going dead from the cold. |

my best index page is on the TrainWeb site, as of January 2011.
This page was wrote in January, 2013. And the pictures are from this year, too.
