November Chill
Title:  November Chill
Description:  After a relatively mild start to fall (seems to be the norm in the Midwest this decade), temperatures dropped precipitously this week in conjunction with the first accumulating snowfall of the 2018-19 winter season. It's not quite enough to make a solid coating on the grass, but it does help set the scene as the 105-year-old Mike makes its annual short run for the Hartford Christmas parade.

The mighty Mikado
Title:  The mighty Mikado
Description:  The 1003 crew is expert at putting on epic smoke shows with lots of loud chugging despite the small, light photo freight consists that are usually all 1003 hauls. I believe its last proper excursion was an AAPRCO charter in 2001. It also made an appearance on the Circus World Museum circus train in 2002.

Title:  Steaming for home, on the dual stone culvert over Wildcat Creek
Description:  They'd do one more runby at Rubicon before heading back to Hartford and rearranging the consist for display in the Auto Museum. This not being an "official" runby spot for the charter, I was essentially alone at this location (I think there was one other railfan off-camera to the right).
