Stand Well Clear

[kevin_standlee]

My thanks to 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.

Very cool. One of those things that I sort of knew had to exist, but never really thought about.
