Christmas Rail 2009

I spent the holidays visiting family in friends in Chicago and Michigan this year. With a little vacation time and some business meetings in Chicago both before Christmas and early in the New Year, I was actually "up north" for quite a while; from Dec 18th through Jan 8th. Although there was no shortage of typical Midwestern gray winter weather, this year we were also blessed with several crystal clear, sunny days as well. On what has become sort of an annual tradition, a cloudless December 29th spent trackside with 4 lifelong friends around Deshler OH fortunately turned out to be one of those days. Here's hoping you find a little something of interest in viewing these "Christmas Rail 2009" images.
