Later in the summer, my video editing studio was temporarily relocated to the plow, where I learned first hand of the importance of the air-conditioner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week in preparation for commencement of February operations, Swirk decided it was time to send the Russel plow out to clear the line and widen the swath of snow made during previous plowing efforts using GP7 573.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So on Thursday, February 13, 2020 the plow was readied and dispatched by Train Order as a Work Extra 573 from North Conway Yard to Attitash pushed in traditional fashion by 573.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hiked into the Whitaker Woods to document the plow at work, then followed along by road. Here are few of my photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"28707\"
