Frost tracks

The photographer says: "I have a leaky kitchen window. What's interesting is that it produces the same type of leafy frost pattern each time we have subzero weather."

from flickr user Sean
The hoarfrost which blanketed the landscape yesterday morning made for beautiful scenery in an otherwise gray and bleak landscape. Oh, sure, it made a mess of some roads but isn't natural beauty worth a bit of pain?

Freight train - Waseca, MN

from flickr user SDfourD
DME 470 wraps around the frost covered landscape on the last leg of its overnight journey from Tracy, MN to Waseca, MN. The scene of a train hauling freight between two points doesn't seem frequent enough to me. Trains, while they are stuck to the tracks they travel, seem to be much more efficient at moving freight that semis are. I know that the two must co-exist but why do we not see more use of trains?
