Really nice pics Brian. There's a station like that near Williamstown WV that was once an LHS. The snow is a nice touch.

Brian,
Im glad you took the opportunity to photograph the P&N in the snow! It really adds to the charm and character of the road. I got a kick out of the bridge. Notice the V shape members on top to clear the catenary! Thx for posting these

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Cool pics Brian. That looks like it would be a good scene to model. The snow definitely enhances the shots.
