The rails that was clear was dry enough for the engines to pu***he rotary into the snow , but once it was in the ice on the rails we lost traction.

Marty-
You certainly have the great conditions as far as snow type is concerned, light and fluffy. Up here in New England the snow would scale down to “white cement”. Very wet. Your photos look great. I’d like to see one of this setup without all the snow flying around, a better shot of the front so you can see the rotary device. Thanks.
Peter

Wow!! Great pictures Marty. I sure wish I got snow but that’ll never happen here in Southern California.

Looks great Marty. Love to see more shots as we get no snow here in my area of CA. I’m forced to deal with some rain instead. can’t wait till next spring when i can put in ground cover… once the tracks are in place…

Excellent shot Marty, your camera angle causes the trees in the background to blend with your nicely weathered train. The grain elevator looks very believable with the rust and all.
You should think about entering this shot in a photo contest, it’s that good, in my humble opinion.

You keep raising the bar Marty, how can us mortals hope to follow in your footsteps.
