I am surprised that no one has mentioned the DUS flanger turn that was operated last week so as to battle the ever increasing snow in the San Juan region this winter. Fortunately, my good friend and photographer Jerry Day recorded the event and shared some of his wonderful photos. Not a rail fan special, no special tickets or modifications for photographers, just a narrow gauge, steam powered snow removal train using 19th century technoligy, doing it's job to keep the line open for revenue service. In the 21st century no less.
Thanks Jerry!
