Winter storms that dump six to 12 inches of snow are not unusual in Northeast Ohio. If you can get out of your driveway today the sunshine that will grace the region will lead to opportunities for some dramatic winter railroad images.
This photograph was made Jan. 16, 2012, following a storm that buried Lake County in more than a foot of snow.
Ed Ribinskas and I ventured out to Perry to photograph trains on CSX and Norfolk Southern. Shown is an eastbound CSX intemodal train kicking up the snow as it charges along.
Within about a day or so the passage of trains at track speed will likely blow most of the snow off the rails and diminish the blowing show effect.
Until then some memorable photographs are waiting to be created.
