After idling for 2 days at the fuel pad in Englehart, ONR 1730 cleans the carbon out as the crew gets plow 554 up to track speed departing the yard for a messy day of plowing.

With windchills nearing -20F the 1809 on the Cochrane yard job shoves past the depot to grab the 554 snow plow and add it to the southbound road train. This bitter cold, clear evening at Cochrane was exactly what I picture when I think of Cochrane in the Winter.

Running fast along highway 11 ONR train 213 kicks up the snow, kicking off the last few miles into Cochrane. One thing you will notice is the absence of cars on highway 11, and one thig you wont notice is the OPP car sitting next to me asking what we were doing. Well.... highway 11 was closed for many miles due to white out conditions, after 30 minutes of chasing our luck was up, or so we thought. The officer told us he was actually reopening the road and we were good to keep up on our chase, thanks!

Two rebuilds lead a westbound manifest downgrade past the Morman Rocks on Cajon pass. I am one who never saw myself visiting Cajon due to its popularity and well bland modern day power. But after passing through the area it offered up a lot more than I ever figured. Plus watching monster trains battle the uphill grade from San Bern to the summit made it a couple nice days trackside.
