Eastern Railroad Discussion > Winter Storm: Snow spray off the rail

Loaded phosphate train came north this morning on the CSX CE&D sub. A few hours without a train allowed the snow/ice to build up on the rail so I focused in on the spray created by the wheel clearing the rail. Last train was I025 but it was still dark so I couldn't record. Also on the train was a tree limb hanging off a hopper. With all the ice just to my south I assume a limb fell as the train was passing one of the many tree tunnels. Maybe it's been riding all the way from Kentucky. I took a screen shot of the limb on the hopper.
I heard chatter this morning about generators at some of the control points around Evansville, IN. Lots of people without power down there.
When I started recording the video I didn't think it was focusing in on the train, however, I stayed with it like everything was fine and figured I'll look at it post recording. Turns out it was all in focus and the video was alright. Glad I didn't stop recording. ;)

Squish! Off it went. It was a bit more difficult to get the snow off my driveway! Fortunately only about 2". We are on the north fringe of this mess.

Great shot of the sanders on the first unit!
