The snow yesterday was too wet and not good for snowflake images.  Unfortunately winter is back today and plants are looking pretty sad.  My image today goes back to a nice warm day in Minnesota at the Steam Threshers Reunion.  I was in the Roundhouse for the safety meeting and took this image of the locomotive I get to help fire on.  You can also see another I have fired on behind, a Porter locomotive that is currently not running due to needing some work done on it.  It's a fun one to fire on but small so not as popular because it gets pretty hot in the cab.  I enjoy it and hope it gets repaired some day.  353 is well liked because it's bigger and the cab is more roomy and it can pull a longer train.
