UP 4602 West, Near Maple Park, Illinois on 12-27-09

Flanked by clouds of swirling snow, a fast moving Union Pacific EMD SD70M leads an autorack west.

After digging out from yesterday's more than originally forecast snow, I was anxious to put the snow and a few trains together on video. The skies were overcast for most of the day, so the "drab" factor is pretty high. The UP's Geneva sub was fairy busy during the middle of the day. All of the trains that I saw were moving fast.

Another unusual noise at about 1:16 .

Luckily it wasn't too windy which makes it a lost worse. I think you've got the right idea... railfanning in warmer Georgia. Thanks for watching.
