February 9th and 10th

A clear and bright weekend after almost an entire month of rain and clouds. After the previous weekend snows, I was looking forward to getting some action in the snow. Unfortunately we where only able to get Amtrak 6 in the snow.

February 9th.

Started out rather slow with the three lined up on the west end of the yard, but nothing on the east end, so we would have to wait for #6 to begin our chase up the hill.

Sunday started out really slow. The arrival side of the yard was empty and the receiving service tracks where also empty, but it got busier a little later.
