UP Y709, Clearing the Rails on 2-3-2011

Three GP15 engines were sent on a snow clearing mission along the Troy Grove sub after the recent major snowstorm.

I chose a poor location to catch this with only a few drifts. But it was a nice day to be out. Clear and cold day with light winds.

Excellent work! It would be amazing to see something like this in real life, but living in Southern California... :P Still, this video is pretty awesome. :)

You should have made some snow men and put them in the tracks... Would have made for a fascinating video.
