Plowing Snow

The wind blowing in the portal was pretty cold, but a balmy 73 degrees on my side of the window!

The guy who built that pretty mill in the background that is still waiting for BD to collect it. Storage fees are adding up, so if it hasn’t moved by May, it might just find a permanent home here.

Today was a perfect day to run a short plow extra from inside and on the back porch. First up, build the consist on the indoor and stage it on the departure track…

Once the cabs warmed up, our friendly crew proceeded across East Es-cap-e` bridge escaping to the outdoors through the portal…

Having crossed West Es-cap-e` we are passing overhead of the old mill and race…

Pushing across the yet un-built trestle and approaching Coal Dump Curve…

In the curve…

Passing behind the hotel and church…

Crossing Indian Hill Bridge…

And finishing up at the far end of the bridge. Track beyond this point still has some ice cover and out of range without going outside…

The SC&M Garden RR after our 3 January 10" snowfall, No plowing for me:

And while I have successfully plowed in the past, the next snow started with freezing rain, so with the sanders frozen, no plowing. So a fake plowing beauty shot…
