Stand Well Clear

My thanks to [livejournal.com profile] debgeisler for posting helicopter footage of UP clearing snow from the Sierra Nevada. I've seen the rotary snowplows on the maintenance-of-way sidings at Roseville and Truckee, but I've never had an opportunity to see them "live." I bet the local railfan community turned out in droves when they got word that the rotaries had been deployed. It's quite a show!

Apparently Donner Pass is giving them fits...don't know if it's been completely cleared yet.

Clearly they need to bring 844 or 3985 West to sort it out...
