I was cleaning out unedited files from a folder and organizing them when I realized I really wanted to add some more of these to the album. I don't know about you but usually on a big chase day where you shoot 500 frames I end up with a dozen at best I choose to edit and share. But this was one of those days where the ratio was more like 50% instead of 2%...it was just that good of a day! There aren't many of those in this hobby so why not?!
Anyway, the winter of 2021-2022 didn't yield any plow trains of any sort for me so here is a look back to a spectacular day spent along those magical Washington County rails of a railroad that should need no introduction.
Getting ready to start a day of plowing out the Batten Kill Railroad mainline to Eagle Bridge, SNEX 5012 (an ex Atlantic & Danville Alco RS36 blt. 12/59) has been fired up on the Carovail spur where she normally rests with out of service RS3 605 (Alco blt. Nov. 1950 as Lehigh and Hudson River number 10). The cab roofs offer a hint as to how much snow had fallen on the region the prior couple days.
