I've been really bad about taking photos of real trains lately. Came back from a backcountry ski the other year to find this plow set on the back track at Lake Louise. Hadn't quite been enough snow that weekend to get it out, but 2016 is looking more promising than 2015 so far for snow!

The SD40-2 was coupled to a Jordan spreader, with a good ol' Angus shops wedge plow behind if needed.

Multimarks are disappearing fast, I was happy to have this one. This shot also proves that this is indeed in the mountains.

It was kind of an epic day, I hope you appreciate a few not-so-ancillary shots.

They still have Jordan spreaders in service? I thought those things were retired ages ago.

Nice! I remember when those were all over the place (I used to think they were boring) and in multi-mark too! I can almost hear the engine idling.. they had such a unique sound. :-)

Totally. Gotta have somewhere for the conductor to slog through when the 144th car on westbound 675 breaks a knuckle.
