It seems that every year starts with this overview taken on a clear, cool day in January. Well, it might help when you flip to the beginning of a year or two back in this story, to see the changes made.
It also seems to be tradition that January brings a drift of snow to our part of British Columbia, Canada. And the Aristocraft plow continues to trundle on, making it possible to run trains under difficult circumstances.
This time, though, in 2005, it also got cold for a period of time long enough to freeze Meziadin Lake. Not unusual for the real one north of Terrace, but definitely unusual for our little one, where pumps keep the water flowing year-round.
The plow kept the mainline open, but it looks as though the log yard at Dee's Junction is snowed-in for the duration.
And now you know why the little houses have steep-pitched rooves.
