MLW Monday in the Snow
Author: cn6218

On January 12, 1997 M-420Ws 3574 and 3538 were working local 507 out of Rockingham yard.  The crew had taken a single flatcar (almost invisible in the fresh snow) out to Windsor Jct., turned it on the wye, and were now heading to Dartmouth on this very crisp morning.

Well that's a new excuse for a train ride on a pretty winter day. I guess you have to load the flatcar from only one side? Or maybe just clear off the rail and check the switches?
Either way, great photo of interesting locomotives, t4p.

If it had a "stem winder" handbrake, perhaps it had to be on the opposite end of the car for at a   loading ramp / trailer ramp for some machine to be loaded. Then again maybe it was a "make work" project for the crew to make their minimum 100 miles for the day.

Gorgeous and yet minimalist, too. Really nice.
