Special photo charters were arranged for March of 2014 that would use a steam locomotive (K-36 #489) and flanger OJ plus other cars to show winter operations and snow clearing like in the old days of the Denver & Rio Grande Western. All equipment is letter for Rio Grande to make this feel like a 1940's or 1950's winter operation.
Besides dramatic snow busting with the pilot plow mounted on the engine we see the flanger move snow further from the tracks, as it is coupled behind the tender. There is normally little snow at the bottom, so special freight train and flanger runbys were made before reaching the higher elevations where snow would be cleared.
These days in 2014 were so successful, that more days were planned for 2015, and 2016. Each year is a little different, with differing snow and weather conditions. On one trip the 489 gets stuck on the wye at Big Horn which was interesting to see that unfold. On a different year (2015) there were some big cuts full of snow requiring several runs trying to bust through.
If you own some of our other snow plow videos such as Winged Wedge Plows, or Rotary Snow Plow videos, then you will find this one a bit different but just as interesting.
The trips were designed for good morning and afternoon lighting, so there are some nice sunrise scenes early in the morning, and at some classic spots like Lava, Big Horn, and Sublette. Three years of action is condensed into this one video. Available in Standard Definiation, and HD Blu-Ray. Please be sure you have a Blu-Ray player before ordering BR. BR players also play regular SD dvd's. Watch a brief Preview of the video.
Color, live audio, and limited narration so you can enjoy the action.

Delivery Information
IMPORTANT! The best way to order multiple items is to add them to your cart and then check out ONCE. Instead of ordering an item, checking out then ordering again. Multiple orders placed to the same address will ship COMBINED in one shipment.
ALL US orders ship via USPS 1st Class Mail or USPS Priority Mail*. Normally this takes from 1-3 business days. *Ok, there is one item we sell (a book) that ships via Media Mail as it weighs more than the first class maximum.
Orders received before 3PM PST (and often later) will ship out the same day.
International orders ship via USPS First Class Mail. Delivery times are difficult to estimate and are at the mercy of customs in the country being shipped to. We've had pretty good and fast delivery service to most countries.
Please note that international orders are subject to customs taxes in your country. These are the responsibility of the buyer.
