Tracking West
Flanging
The unmistakable sound of two EMD 645 prime movers and the sight of a huge snow cloud kicking up from the tracks means only one thing, a flanger is rolling through town. After missing the shot in the morning, my friend and I spent all day trying to get a shot of flangers doing what they do best, and an afternoon snow storm brought down enough snow in less than an hour to get some good plowing from the flanger. So we set up at Soda Springs on the way down the mountain and we waited for the flanger. After the MRVNP passed them at Norden the flanger was on the move and quickly made it to us.
