Winging it

Winging It

A late fall snow storm in 2015 dumped a a lot of snow on interior Alaska necessitating the ARR to call out a "snow fleet". After running south down the main nosing out the flanges and cutting the bank they have extending the wing and are now reversing direction and running north to clear the siding of the snow they'd pushed over from the main. The two GP40-2s are bracketed by ARR Spreaders #9 (built 2000) and #8 (built 1976) in this view looking north toward the mighty Alaska Range and the northern Continental Divide.
