Yesterday, the Portland Secondary received it's first snowfall of December 2017. Naturally, I headed out right away to catch some great opportunities for snow shots with the H-76. To make matters better, NS SD40-2 #3381 aka "The Beast" was on the point of the train. Starting off in Martins Creek, I give chase all the way to Johnsonville watching as the engineer shows a constant struggle to keep the train rolling despite the excessive tonnage, lack of power, and poor conditions. *My only concern was how the freezing temperatures caused 3381's reversed RS3L to sound like CRAP, but hey, I'll take that over those Trash 9s any day!
