The lead unit of the flanger shows off some of the snow left from the slides it plowed through on its last trip.
Finally caught a heritage unit leading.
Great scenery....filthy lead unit. Oh well...love that snow.
Just love the look of the rails with a fresh blanket of snow on them!
The flanger works Eastbound on the #1 track.
Westbound just track East of Shed 10 UP 8481 leads the west ZCSLT
With the sun peeking out, light snow falls as the flanger heads back to Roseville.
After a long day battling the snow up near the summit, myself and Dick Dorn take some night shots at the MOW yard in Truckee. Here Dick is seen blasting his stobe.
The rotary showed a slight sign of life after 10 years of dormancy as it plows out the bank off of the #2 track.
A side shot reveals the details of the plow as the spreader works east on track #1
In very low visibility, the westbound BNSF pulls out of town heading west. It was really coming down!
At the time, freshly re-painted UP 604 leads a flanger westbound. I dont know how in the heck that broome stays there through all of the snow plowing.
Crew members assigned to flanger duty work diligently with several tools, including a flare to dig out/clear the switch at the west end of Truckee
A westbound UP auto decends Donner Pass and exits Shed 10.
