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. A set of wonderful images for all to appreciate that a Russell Plow in action was a sight to behold, when men were men. All three of these images were taken of operations on the shortline Marquette Railroad.  Aaron Schlegel Photo A tidal wave of snow crashes on road as the Marquette Rail Plow Extra blasts
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.

7009 number boards look good. Is there a way to turn a locomotive around at IRM? In case you ever had a mind to connect 7009 and 6847?
