Winter Charme
Thankfully, dry roads allowed just enough margin to nab a bonus shot of this eastbounder. Back in BN days the detector here identified the location as Charme with each passing train, just north of Prairie du Chien. Snow dust obscures the stacks farther back and pigs up front give this train the look of an old school zip. I'm not looking forward to winter but clear air and fresh snow can be a killer combination.
