Remarks & Notes |
The CP is working on clearing the drifts on their Sheldon Sub between Mason City and Sheldon. Here the crew has their hands full as they make a few passes at this drift east of Wesley. Using a GP40 for power was far from enough power to do the job right. A few times today the 4005 stalled out in notch 8 and the wings had to be pulled back to take less snow. Running this plow requires alot of patience and some decent skill to understand all the elements involved with this winter operation. |
