Rio Grande steamers #360 and #361 are double headed today for the plow train. The 360 handles the snow over the track, and the spreader behind each locomotive adds a bit of clearance, and moves the snow a bit further away. Hopefully the conductor has some hot coffee sitting on the stove in the caboose, ready for the crew when they take a break.

Mr. Radcliffe penned that these scenes are at Cedar Creek, Colorado, but the date wasn’t indicated. I think it is likely 1939.

In the view below, we’ve lost the caboose! I wonder if the fellow in the distance at right is looking for it?
