Snow Goose RGS 5
| March 01, 2017 05:21AM |
I was on the "Snow Goose" runs on the D&S last weekend, and am finally getting around to having a look at a few of the hundreds of frames as I'm sitting here in the world's most boring meeting. Figured I'd share a handful.
Photo #1 - RGS 5 leaving Durango on the first short trip on Friday, Feb 17. After the Sat/Sun trips sold out, they added two trips up to the Event Park wye north of Durango on Friday.
Photo #2 - Backing into Event Park as the conductor/pilot lines the north wye switch back to the main.
Photo #3 - Unloading for a break at Event Park Wye. Note 5's new snowplow, freshly fabricated by one of the GGHS volunteers using the one of RGS 6 (from CRRM) as a pattern.
Photo #4 - Returning to Durango at the north end of town.
Photo #5 - Crossing the Animas and back into downtown. If you haven't tried it, the building to the left is Animas Brewing, which makes some really tasty barley-based beverages.
