February: Nevada Northern Railway
In February, I attended the Nevada Northern Railway Winter Steam Photo Weekend Spectacular. They run the trains around with photographers in mind, doing multiple passes and really putting on a show with the smoke and steam. We were able to ask things like "Pull forward 10 feet" or "More Steam". It was like a full-sized voice-controlled railroad. My only complaint was a lack of snow. It it has to be that cold there should be snow. I'm attending again in 2019 so maybe I'll get some then.

This photo is a perfect example of the show they put on for the photographers. They must have pulled out of the building four or five times, each time putting out as much smoke and steam as they could. It was a hell of a show.
