Saturday, May 26. 2012CGW X 38 Update - May 26, 2012Thanks to the generosity of several contributors, we are able to share these photos of CGW snow plows - THE ORANGE YEARS  CGW X 38. Robert S. Vaughn Photo, Don Vaughn Collection Here is our own X 38 resting in the summer sun at Oelwein, Iowa. The bright orange is pretty much faded, but otherwise the equipment seems in good repair.  CGW 4057. Ted Schnepf Photo, Don Ross Collection According to the photo credit this has been renumbered to CGW 4057 and is shown at Eagle Grove, Iowa in 1978.  CGW X 32. Robert S Vaughn Photo, Don Vaughn Collection What could be more refreshing than this spectacular winter view of the X 32? Especially with the forecasters predicting record 97 F for tomorrow? The plow is resting here between storms at Fort Dodge, Iowa in 1971. The X 32 was an older plow, but here a good idea of what winter snow fighting was all about in ORANGE.
