I "Chased and Paced" the D&S Valetine's Day Special to Shalona Crossing in the first major snowstorm of the season. This was K36 #482's first revenue run since being “Shopped/Rebuilt" and wearing a snowplow, leading the way pushing 2 plus feet of snow at Cascade with K28 #476. Video opens with just coupled engines leaving the fenced yard and backing to couple to the train. I skipped the departure to get the second scene in an almost white-out at the Animas River crossing/fish hatchery. On the snow packed highway and skier traffic I paced in the valley. Late for the Hermosa stop, a hurried Highway 550 crossing and finally, Shalona Crossing. Before the departure and more pacing video to come.
Thanks for watching!
ENJOY
