OK, all you veteran railroaders out there, here's a question that has nagged at me over the years, being a Southern Californian who has very limited experience with the white stuff.
Just what is the normal procedure for turning a train on a wye in the snow? Thinking steam here, is the tender or rear car capable of plowing out the wye leg in reverse or do you have to resort to shovels to clear the backing leg?
