Train Mountain Snow Removal

Post by Donhost4449 »

I was fortunate to spend Thanksgiving at Train Mountain this year with friends. The fist video demonstrates the use of two methods TM utilizes for snow service: the plow, and the spreader.



The second video focuses on the family aspect of our visit. Everyone got out to help and have fun plowing the snow, then we had some time to enjoy the fruits of our labor after the snow was cleared.



Enjoy!

Nice Snow work video Don, thanks. The working "spreader" is pretty cool (pun intended).

Well it warmed up today (29F) so we tried to clear the main around Central Station. We made it to Central Station but no further. We will be back at it tomorrow. Richard and Dustin cleared the grade crossings, thanks guys, and Boyd handled the shovel duties, thanks Boyd. Russ
