McCloud Rails : Snow Removal


Here are some photos of various snow removal operations through the years. These photos are presented here courtesy of Travis Berryman.


Some of the tools the McCloud used to clear snow from the rails are visible in this photo. One of the small box plow/flangers is on the track adjacent to the #25, and two flangers are visible in the background. The #25 has just returned from the Burney opening line celebrations. Travis Berryman collection.
