This thisng was kinda wierd, as far as i could tell, it was powered by a golf cart motor and converted to run on rails. i have no idea what it is used for, and i dont know who built it or when it was done:

naw, the thing wasnt even running, i would imagine that having it running while there 200 people walking freely around the yard where ever they damn well feel like, would be a safty issue. the only thing that was even running was the up unit that i got the inside pictures from.

 

from what i understand, the plows are converted engines. insted of using the power to move a line, it spins that huge rotor. it needs an ac unit or two behind it to push it through the seirra snow pack since it cant move an inch on its own.

i tryed to get a shot of that thing, but they wouldnt let me get very close to it, since there were live tracks with live trains over near it, but i got a good look, who knows what the problem with it was, but both axels and wheel sets where removed and straped down to the same flat car that the box was on. there was also some pretty shitty peice attemps on the box.

i was supprised to find that inside of a caboose on display, i figured it would have been removed prior to it being on display.

the fellow holding his knee in the last picture was rather friendly, i spent a while talking to him about good local places to shoot photos of equipment rolling and other issues regarding taking photos of trains.

 

 

good thing im not really concerned with people knoing where i live with all this feather river stuff i guess.
