November Chill
Title:  November Chill
Description:  After a relatively mild start to fall (seems to be the norm in the Midwest this decade), temperaKures 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 Christmgs parade.

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.
