Woke up early this morning and had a dusting on the KMRR. The KMRR crew worked fast at preping the track to run some trains The Rogers ran very well until the snow started to come down heavy. The plow is in the shop seems to be jumping on the switches. This is the start of the snow
This is after about 1.5 inches of snow and still snowing. Rogers struggled alot kept slipping. The Dunkirk is getting ready for the next run later.

Shawn,
Your RR looks good in the snow.
I woke up to about an inch of snow this morning.
Gone now as it had already turned to rain.
This wet weather keeps up I’m going to have to switch to R/C boats 
Ralph
The snow stopped and the crew de-iced the tracks. Picked up a little over 2 inches of snow. Another 2 inches in forcast for tonight… Once the tracks were de-iced the Dunkirk was not needed so they stuck with the Rogers. Had the engine running for a good hour while my daughter and me sat a watched. The boss even came out with my 11 month old to watch but she didnt last very long, what a wimp.

Shawn, you have me green with envy!!!
We got about an inch or so here, too, and I thought about running a train after I shoveled the walk, but once inside the woodstove felt too good, so…
I’ll just sit here and enjoy your pix…
Great pictures Shawn. Looks like you had lots of fun.
I ended up with the same attitude of Dave and Ken. Had to drive an hour each way just as the storm was ending to take my youngest to the Amtrak station. It was still light when we got home, but a warm seat with a cold beer won out. If it doesn’t melt, I may run tomorrow.

Shawn,
Your pics look awesome!!!
That redwood will stand for many snow shots, I’m so glad those bents found the right home as the look like they belong there!
P.S…if you need anymore you could sneak north and steal a cigar store
Now back to Jon…While you and Ken played with your dollies by the woodstove I did this!
I got to ride along on the CVRR plow today.

I’m still trying to figure all this out as I’m technologically challenged.
Nice work by your camera crew there Rooster. Good job by the CVrr MOW crews
Rooster cool video. I really need to start doing some video of my RR. You got a nice size layout for it.
I’d say the Penguin is performing very well
Ralph
David, you need a big wing on that plow!
