It is nothing but wall-to-wall snow in Byers Canyon on this chilly January afternoon. A storm the night before left a couple of new inches, and temperatures well below freezing prevented much of the white stuff from melting. A westbound UP coal empty winds its way through the frigid canyon, headed for Energy Mine on the Craig Branch.
