Signs of Winter

Amtrak Wolverine Train 351 bursts through the snowLooking as if it is popping through a cloud, Amtrak NPCU No. 90219 kicks up a fresh blanket of snow off the tracks while leading Wolverine train 351 through Jackson, Jan. 9, 2008. A snow storm producing a heavy snowfall had passed through the state the night before, causing Amtrak service to operate behind schedule. The NPCU is a former EMD F40PH locomotive, used by Amtrak as a control cab and for baggage use. (Photo by Scott Bevier)
