Would section crews have kept the Silverton branch open with speeders and other equipment whose movements wouldn't have been recorded? Would MOW-only trains on the Silverton branch turn up in the records if any ran?

Where and when possible, section crews would maintain potential trouble areas. When serious situations arose they would notify the dispatcher in order that proper equipment could be moved to the affected area. Yes, any MOW-only trains would be reported in the records. In addition to Jerry's comments, it seems that often a wedge plow would be attached to the engine such as the 453 and/or 375 during the period I have been posting.
