Monday, June 4. 2012CGW X 38 Update - June 3, 2012RUSSELL PLOWS IN ACTION These are not of our plow, but have been generously shared by Aaron Schlegel.

across M 37 just north of White Cloud, Michigan on February 3, 2011.  Aaron Schlegel Photo The Plow
Extra blasts through the south end of Grant burying a derailment of tank cars
that had broken loose of their hand brakes and drifted to disaster a few days
prior. Grant, Michigan on February 3, 2011.  Aaron Schlegel Photo Time to move back a little as the plow approaches us head on in Woodland Park, Michigan on January 22, 2011. The plow is being pushed by locomotive GMTX 2635. So, it easy to see why fans, historians, and modelers find endless fascination with a RUSSELL PLOW.
