On a chilly morning in Cumberland the 734 waits for the rail fans to get on board.
The 734 enters Brush tunnel....as we wait inside. Where else can a person wait inside a tunnel with a steam train approaching? On the next run we go over to the walkway and the train pulls right through (next image).
Exiting Brush Tunnel.

The infamous, "Brush Tunnel" shot. Note to self, next time - hold breathe!

And so it starts. As we await the train to come back into view, the snow starts and quickly becomes like a "white-out".
Just starting to snow, what we had all been hoping for.
734 waits patiently at Frostburg.
