First snowfall of the year hits the Jersey Southern RR.  Less than an inch accumulated.  Not enough to use the snowplow, darn it!

About one (scale) foot of snow halted everything in town.

Nothing's stirring on the outskirts, either.

Workers clear the station platform as the stationmaster checks his watch expecting the arrival of the first train soon.

Shovellers finish clearing the platform.  The stationmaster wonders if the train and the local passengers will arrive in time.

A worker clears the path to the crossing shanty.

Passengers somehow make it there before the train arrives.

At last the train pulls in to the station.

The stationmaster again checks his watch.  Yep! The 10:00 Local is on time today despite the snow.

Passengers cue up to board.

RDC train leaves town with grateful passengers aboard.
