Lake State Railroad chasing today

Lake State Railroad- Todays picture we took as we followed the local train heading south out of Gaylord. We followed it for a few miles thinking it might stop at a area party store it used to stop at.
Deb and I asked the party store owner and he said they still stop once in a while but not too much in the winter.
We were going to take a video of it as it passed by the party store and Deb ran out and it was going so fast she did not get a chance . But another railroad worker was cleaning up intersections after the train plowed snow into them as it passed by. He told us where the rail yard was so sometime Deb and I will drive south and go check it out. I’d like to show them the toy train I am building . Maybe one of them would like seeing it.
Toy train progress- Today I got all the brake parts done . Tomorrow I will work on the fuel tank
D.C. snowstorm – Bill was in his glory getting five inches of wet snow in D.C. today . He said work was real slow as most of the locals can not drive in snow so they stay home. Bill gre up in Gaylord and loves snow too !
Nicole and the baby enjoyed the day snuggly inside as Nicole hates snow.
Deb likes the snow as long as she only sees it out the living room window and doesn’t have to go out in it ha,ha.
Have a great Thurs.
