Rio Grande

A flanger spreader trains heads down the three rail from Alamosa to Antonito. At Antonito the second engine will be cut between the flanger and spreader, and they will head toward Cumbres clearing snow for a following freight. The second caboose is for the MOW folks who operate the flanger and spreader, and have to hand shovel things like switches and occasionally chip ice in the flange way.
