Bad day to be on the Rail Road...when I worked for the old Soo Line in Superior...the pull aparts and derailments were bad this time of year...getting called out for in the middle of the night even worse...

Hundred below wind chills do bad things to machines as well as animals and men.....

How it can shrink rail is truly amazing...
