Well time has passed, and it's getting colder. Here's the Michelin man visiting the USA to sell winter tires. Yes, it was that cold.
It keeps getting colder and the trains keep running and we keep taking pictures. We couldn't think of a good reason to go home so we stayed.
The short winter days slowly reclaim the feeble light of day and we grudgingly head back for Plainfield. One more stop at the park for one more train in Rochelle.
This picture is the railfan equivalent of the NRA: You'll take my camera when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. Rather appropriate for the weather of the day. All in all it was a fun day and very busy. Don't worry, We'll be back.
