Though weekends are usually my free time, I could make a weekday track day if there was enough warning.

I'll second what John said about things at Alna Center. The crowd was easy to manage due to the lower numbers. Boarding and unboarding at the crossing was great as it was stable and flat with no need for steps at all. Folks were getting a bit cold but the fire and station were nice and warm. Lots of continuous sweeping of snow off of the platform and clearing the crossing. Fantastic views of #9 approaching the station.
At the end of the day, before the last train made its way up, there were no guests at all at AC. The snow was falling hard and the silence was so peaceful. We could hear #9's whistle clearly from Sheepscot. The echo would reverberate eerily for 30 seconds in the dense, snowy air. We could hear the echo bouncing back from a northerly direction, feeling like we were under a big dome. Good times!

Fantastic colors! I guess Paul Simon was right. Seeing the photo of the soldier at Fort Knox and his M1 Garrand reminded me of my father telling me about getting warned against fabled "M1 tumb" during basic training. Also the shot of the rail yard in Chicago was great, seeing all the foot prints in the snow of the workers making their way around, clearing all the switch points. I'm glad photos like this exist.
