I just picked this up off the wire. The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is turning to some unique snow clearing equipment to dig out from this winter's record snowfall. With up to 15 feet and no rotary snowplows in useable condition, the C&TS has contracted out with one of its part time locomotive engineers to clear the snow by opening day. See the news video on my blog to watch the converted runway plow in action. :tb-cool: Not enough footage of the plow working, IMHO, but I'll take what I can get! :tb-biggrin:
Thanks for that! On this side of the state all of the snow has been gone for weeks, hard to believe it is still that heavy out east!
Great Report! It's hard to believe that we are already talking about water restrictions when you just how much snow fell in the mountains this year. :tb-cool: :tb-cool: :tb-cool: :tb-cool:
