Great way to end 2009

[SNOWSHOE]

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.

More action later on when the Dunkirk gets warmed up or I should say cold enough so the wheels dont ice up.  I love running in the snow

That's pretty neat!   What did you use to get that cool white powdery effect?

I bet that white stuff is cotton !

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.

Looks as if someone had more fun than is authorized! I hope you had a ample supply of fresh hot chocolate. P.S. when do we get to see the video?  (just kidding).

Hi Snowshoe,

Great pics on my side of the pond we dont get that type of snow. it soon goes to solid ice so no chance of running over feastive season.  We had a foot of snow over here and damage to track and ballast will need to be replaced and trak leveled. So I am hoping for some warm weather to get out and sort it

Howdy Snowshoe nice photos I’m envious; our first snow was 12” followed by another 12” a few days latter leaving about an 18” accumulation. Yesterday, New Years Eve, we had a power failure, Y2K a decade late. Now we’re forecast to have a several days of rain. No photos yet; I can’t find the railroad.

 

Have fun, Rob
