Ready for snow!
With the big snowstorm forecast for tomorrow, railway management has ordered the plows out on the line to be ready for the first flakes. Even old #10 has been pressed into service, much to the surprise of the seasoned workers at the Avondale shops. A pair of vintage RS3s pull the old plow out onto the main to be ready to keep the line clear between Avondale and Monticello.

Funny, it looks like such a fine day on the Carleton Railway. You'd never guess there was a snow storm on the way.
It was pretty nasty here for a while, but it's all over now and the driveway has already been shoveled out.
Great photos by the way!
Nice to see the recent news on the Carleton Railway Steve. Your plow models are impressive.Hopefully the winter will be much worse in 1/87 this year than the 1/1 world!!
