Bring on the Snow. - a photo on Flickriver

Bring on the Snow.

            With the first snow of the winter forecasted for parts of Scotland tonight and tomorrow I thought I would delve into my back catalogue and find a snowy shot.
This is a Resita 0-8-0 wood burning steam loco from Romania. She is high in the Carpathian Mountains working on the logging railway network. At this point we are only 20K from the Ukrainian border. Whilst they see very little authentic work her and her 3 sisters are kept on stand by to cover for the ageing narrow gauge diesel hydraulic locos that haul the log trains. Most days will see one in steam to cover for failures and carry out shunting duties around the logging yards at Villa De Sus. During the summer months these locos work tourists trains around the network but the track is very dubious, derailments are a daily occurrence.
I was part of a photo charter that lasted 4 days, each day we would take a loco a coach and a selection of wagons and disappear high into the mountain network we would run as authentic trains as possible. The woods stretch for hundreds of miles and are home to bears, wolves, boars and deer.
