Comments on: If there’s one thing about the OSR and plowing, it’s fish in a barrel. All you have to know is they’re running and you can at least get *something*. Thanks to a well timed social media post, I heard they went from Woodstock to St. Thomas first thing in the morning with the Port Burwell sub to Tillsonburg to come later. Knowing a St. Thomas run takes hours, I knew I had a chance. I timed it just right so I could arrive as they were heading south, and lucky for me after a cloudy morning the sun came out at lunchtime for their relatively short (less than an hour) journey to Tillsonburg. Pictured for the first time a pair of repainted F units are on a plow as they head south passing snowmobile trails approaching the DeBruyen Farm. There was very little (snow) action to be had, but the F units and plow sure look purdy (heh heh heh) in the sun. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

We used to have a double track plow at Guelph Jct that was built in 1915. So far as I know, it and most of these "eastern" plows have been scrapped. CP still uses a variation of this type of plow in the mountains. For those unaware, these plows were home built by CPR roughly 100 years ago.
