Lion what the heck is that thing ?

"If you mean the yellow thing from last wednesday, it is a snow melter. It uses a small jet engine, same idea as the NASCAR jet dryers for wet race tracks"

No kidding ? I had no idea that something like that existed.

I've seen a jet blower/snow melter/wannabe dragon Smile, Wink & Grin before, in Altoona/Cresson area, sitting in a storage track.

Never seen one active though.

Hiding on the light, or whatever that thing is, above the upper right corner of the streetcar.

Boy, sneaky Lion took a dust bath to lighten his fur first on that one!

No wonder Lion gets some tasty wildebeasties to eat, him getting good at hiding in plain sight!

Well I guess Ulrich the Lion hunter is not replying, so.......The photo is a little blurred....but My guess would be.... sitting next to the top of the front post,  that is to the left of the ''Q''.....looks like two little black dot eyes.

Take Care! Big Smile

Him is a little 6 pixel LION and he is on the HO scale subway map out towards the end of the Queensboro line. He is the only opject that is really in focus on that map, but you will need to click on the photo to open a full size image and even then you will need your Optivisor.
