    We've got some great railfan pictures this week in RailImages!

    Starting out, dave n is making me cold with this winter scene. Here's an NS helper on a grain train near Ludlow, Kentucky...

    LOL! I just took Buddy Burton's description. I think what he meant was two trains were meeting in a cornfield, probably one on a passing siding.

    Maybe Buddy's "cornfield meet" is him meeting that hopper train in a corn field? :p
    Great shots! They make me glad to be in warm AZ! And thanks for picking one of mine :)

    Great picks. :thumbs_up:
    I especially like the NS photo in the snow. It almost looks like a black and white photo until you look really close at the loco and find that there is color inside the cab and a few flecks here and there. Great job!

    Not this time.

    There wasn't a westbound to be seen for miles. Apparantly eastbounds ruled the roost.

    There ya go!!

    Great pics, everyone! At least some folks were able to get out & about in this icy mess we had last week. Me, I live in a state where the snow removal device rises in the east every morning.

    Cool shots. Or should that be cold shots. Thanks for picking one of mine. My dream is to one day have my own PV.

    Nice shots everyone. Thanks for picking one of mine. Makes the minor frostbite somewhat worth it :).

    If that thing was made overseas (the source of many a WalMArt item), then someone lied to me.......:tb-err::tb-err:

    After this last ice/sleet storm, it took several days for the stuff to melt off so school could start back up again. A small truck with wide tires (and not too much tread on them) and no weight in the bed doesn't move well in this stuff. Ask me how I know this fact.......................................:tb-tongue:
