Warbonnet Christmas Card

The 'Savanna-Eola" train approaches Flagg Center amidst some incredible hoarfrost.

 

I had looked at Clarke's (aka "Trainut") photo from this location earlier in the day. When I heard that this red painted engine was leaving Oregon, Illinois, I raced to get in front of it with hoarfrost in the background. Made it with about two minutes to spare. Which gave me just enough time to hike in the snow along the tracks to isolate the scene.

 

Video, from later in the day after the fog rolled in is here:
