Early in the day, we caught No 4 and the plow leaving Cassville Yard |
 |
Although there was really much accumulation down here, we were told it was quite heavy up on the mountain |
 |
The Plow train stopped at Rosetree for water, by now a little snow was beginning to accumulate on the blade |
 |
On the way back down to Cassville we heard a low mellow steamboat whistle, set the cameras and got a shot of No6 coming up the hill with a string of empty hoppers!!! |
 |
No6 puts on a fine show as she approaches the Roseville yard linits |
 |
Looks like Paul is Hogging and Fireing both today. No easy task on the Hill to Rosetree |
 |
No6 eases past the wood shed to to the water tower |
 |
Paul slows her down right on the money |
 |
Later the same day, we cought No6 on a different train, this time pushing some hoppers, with a boxcar of supplies in tow. |  |
We were able to get ahead of the train at Summit curve, and catch the train coming across Ann's Creek Trestle |
 |
Nice Close angle as she charges across the bridge! |
 |
When we got back to Cassville, we found Old No1 simmering on the main. |
 |
Tom McCormick is at the throttle as No1 makes up a train. |
 |
She's all steamed up with a train tied to 'er tail! |
 |
Tom's got the safty valves popping as Ol No1 comes up on the Anns Creek Trestle |
 |
The little mogul is really working hard as she comes up on Summit Curve! |
 |
She don't do too bad for an old gal as she swings around the curve. |  |
The throttle is wide open as Tom brings Ol No1 into Rosetree yard |
 |
After the hard grade up the mountain, No1 eases up to the tank for a well deserved drink |
 |
Jed Smith and Buster pass through Rosetree with the Explosives car |
 |
Interestingly, no one seemed to have an record of a run or request from the magazine at Cassville, Jed would only comment that he was after some Potent substances! |
