Hello, rail buffs!
In Western New York, excursion trains don’t take dainty strolls through the snowflakes. They obliterate snowdrifts to smithereens. This is the Arcade & Africa’s GE 65-Ton Switcher #112. Photo by Jackson Henneberry-Gregoire.

Can confirm. I wrote 2 books. One earned me about $3K, the other never broke even.
REMINDER: if you think your right-on lefty/socialist/communist/etc. politics justifies pirating books, well guess what? Most writers don't make a living wage from their books or writing work, and stealing from them makes you a class traitor.
