On summer vacation in June 1988, Green Mountain snow plow X105, built in 1936 by Russell. She's now at the Naugatuck RR at the RR Museum of New England at Thomaston, CT.
Assembling some sectional track in Houston, TX, just before midday on Sunday: Now you know how they do it at companies like Atlas. Four guys putting it together, one supervising them, and another driving the backhoe with the claw attachment. Then they shrink it down to whatever scale is needed, package it, and finally sell it to us. What's amazing is the precision and finesse the backhoe operator can use that claw to pick up and position a piece of rail on the waiting ties. And how floppy steel rail is!
Another snow plow, NYS&W 72 at Binghamton, NY in May 1983. It's former MEC 72 I think and has since been renumbered NYSW 92. Looks like another Russell.
Rotary snow plow in the yard at Chama, New Mexico in 1998. A very under exposed Kodachrome that was salvaged as best that I could in photoshop.
