I was sent this link, and I thought I'd pass it along. It is a video of East Troy plowing out its line.

Fascinating to see this.

Brian Thanks for the post. That not only looked cold but sounded cold. I 'm so happy to be living in Southern Calif.
Do railroads have any kind of depth guage alone the r/w to tell the plow operators what they may be hitting with their blade, or are they epected to know their line?

Wondering the reason for the plowing,, was this for some late season holiday
train operation, or have some of the on line customers returned with a need for freight movements ? Or is it just the members enjoying a little special operations ?
