Missing Winter

It is just straight up miserably hot in the Old Dominion this week. Heat indices of like 107 degrees, flooding monsoon downpours every afternoon. August in the south isn't much fun, so lets go back to my roots and cooler temperatures. It's just past 1700 hours on the evening of December 30th as the southbound New Hampshire Northcoast train D8 prepares to depart Tri-City. The thrumming of classic EMDs mixes with the falling snow in the New England woods, as the headlights illuminate the beginning of 82 miles of their journey to Boston. The train will be brought to Dover, where a PanAm railways crew will bring it in all the way to Boston Sand and Gravel.
