Denver & Rio Grande Western C-18 Consolidation #315 leads a long freight into the little yard in front of the section camp at Sublette, NM (MP 306.06), where the train will stop for water, as it transits the San Juan Extension from Alamosa, CO to Chama, NM. Today's mixed freight includes stock cars, tanks and a string of box cars. Out of view on the right is mid-train helper Locomotive #463, a K-27 Mikado.
This image was captured on the final day of 4-day photo shoot in September 2013, on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. On this day, both Locomotives 315 and 463 would haul a photo freight from Antonito, CO to Chama, NM with 315 leading and 463 cut in as a mid-train helper.
film from 2021, but conditions today feel similar to support this phenomenon: snow being blown off the cliffs above, then rolling once they land to form sizable snowballs (with telltale tracks behind them) all over the ground -- the snow has to be just the right consistency, and the temp just below freezing, and some breeze but not too much. I will keep my eyes open today!
edit: I forgot that the forecast is for building wind all afternoon, so quickly has gotten too strong -- the snowballs blow apart rather than stick together & accumulate.

My most interesting pictures:
Dice are implements used for generating random numbers in a variety of social and gambling games. Known since antiquity, dice have been called the oldest gaming instruments. They are typically cube-shaped and marked with one to six dots on each face. The most common method of dice manufacture involves injection molding of plastic followed by painting.
Dice have been used for gaming and divination purposes for thousands of years. Evidence found in Egyptian tombs has suggested that this civilization used them as early as 2000 b.c. Other data shows that primitive civilizations throughout the Americas also used dice. These dice were composed of ankle bones from various animals. Marked on four faces, they were likely used as magical devices that could predict the future. The ancient Greeks and Romans used dice made of bone and ivory. The dice of most of these early cultures were made in numerous shapes and sizes.
The modern day cubical dice originated in China and have been dated back as early as 600 b.c. They were most likely introduced to Europe by Marco Polo during the fourteenth century.

I doodle this design sometimes on paper and I decided to try to make a wall hanging with it. I've never done anything like this before. The four circles are the first four times I've ever tried free-motion quilting on my sewing machine. I guess this is called raw-edge applique. I made the binding black so I can hang it on the wall and the "frame" will match the other frames in the grouping. Basic Grey by Moda fabric. :D

72/366: The 2016 Edition
Providence and Worcester Railroad's crew WX-1 out of Worcester is in command of four units leading a 78 car unit ethanol train that arrived in Worcester as a B935 from CSXT and is destined for the Shell tank farm at the Port of Providence. They are rolling west on Main 3 of Amtrak's New Haven Line passing under the old Olneyville Expressway at about MP 183.9 paralleling Harris Ave. on the gritty west side of the Ocean State's capital city.
Leading the train is B39-8E 3905 (blt. Nov. 1987 as LMX 8533) looking good in old school PW red and brown with PW 4001, 2010, and 3906 assisting to move the heavy southbound.

This southbound CN freight has just surmounted Byron hill and is rolling by bare trees and a recently plowed field in this November scene in Wisconsin. 11/12/16
This is another shot that I took in the Scaffel Pike area, the clouds had broken for a while but as you can see the clouds were rolling back in.
