Astro, Rails, and Fish

Three fun topics, one easy post!

I had today off from work. So I went the neighbor to a lake about an hour north of the twin cities to do some ice fishing.  The lake is about a mile and a half east of the BNSF Hinckley subdivision. So after a half hour or so of fishing, I heard the wonderfull sound of a train horn off in the distance.  We kept fishing til after dark.  After we finished and were packing up, I looked up and saw Orion rising in the east, and the milky way overhead coursing from Auriga and Perseus down to Cygnus on the wester horizion.  All in all, a pretty successfull trip, and three cool things in one post!
