Amazing Machines

As mentioned before, I love the snow (except for the ice and wind that may come with it), and most often when those fluffy flakes come, I cheer, "3 feet, 3 feet!"  This year my eldest lad wanted and wished for 8 feet -- guess someone was listening! 

These are a few photos I received... just amazing and beautiful.  This article must have been in some paper, and I would love to give them credit for it, but I don't have that info.  

"These photos were taken on the Bellwood Subdivision, between Seward and David City, Nebraska on the BNSF RR. Seward is about 25 miles west of Lincoln, on the Ravenna Sub. A few blizzards and sub zero temperatures coupled with moderate winds made for a beautiful, but, flash frozen environment. A freight train was snowed in at David City and a rotary snow plow was sent to clear the track of drifts that varied from 6ft or less up to 12ft in spots!! The photos were taken on Jan. 8th through Jan. 10th"

Apparently, my cousin's wife's grandfather invented the railroad's rotary snowblower... cool to be "related" to someone famous!  :-)
