Flanger Train?
| January 16, 2020 11:41AM |
Last winter, Durango and the Animas River area received a 25 year record snow fall. The D&S ran six snowplow-flanger trains (a record for the D&S). So far we have not receive significant snowfall, but the forecast for the weekend calls for a lot of snow. The D&S has Flanger OF and Caboose 0540 ready to go. Number 493 has flanger controls installed in the cab, so perhaps before the winter is over, we will see a K-37 powered flanger train for the first time since the 1960s.
