MEC Plow Extra 565 precedes RY-2 from Bartlett NH |
|
|
It's a bright but chilly morning as Plow Extra 565 prepares to leave Bartlett. The plow is #81 and GP-7 #565 is trailed by buggy # 631. Not much time to waste, as RY-2 isn't too far behind. 3 Feb 1967 |
|
|
The snow is fresh as the plow breaks through the plowed drifts of US Route 302 just north of the village. |
|
|
The blowing snow practically obscures the locomotive and caboose as the Plow Extra heads north toward Crawford Notch. |
|
|
New England winter railroading at its best. |
|
|
Close on the heels of the Plow Extra is RY-2, bound from Rigby Yard in South Portland to St Johnsbury. Up front are GP-38's #256-254-261. |
 |
Tacked on behind buggy 655 are GP-7 helpers #571-572. |
