Feb 3 sunday morning 9 am eastbound from Plover Wis 32 degrres F |
. . . . looks like a snow blower on the back.
. . . do the rotary chains double as ballast sweeper in the summer,
. . . . without the blower?
. . . . widen out after clearing the signs
| This picture series looks like one big breakthrough, but it's really three pushes. One to tap it and crack the crust, then back up and check, then get a little more run at it to gain 2 more feet, back up (check for ice / derail / avoid tearing up asphalt?), then ahead again at a few mph |
.
Widen the wings.
Speed under 10 mph.
They go to the next road crossing,
while I fight camera trouble in the cold.
No picture of them using what I think is a built-in turn table to spin the machine around a half turn and come back.
.
Snow Chunks to remove on the return trip

I don't know where they went after this, besides back to Plover. (this is a two mile dead end line to the cannery)
time for me to go home and fix cameras |
