Tis the season! CN 625-63 a Nordco M7 snow fighter, serial number 800309, was brand new 14 years ago today and was being put into service between South Parry & Dock Siding, ON. A fresh dump of heavy wet snow was quickly dealt with by the new machine, and the hot air switch heater seen here at Dock Siding. The front V-plow coupled with the adjustable side wings can clear a path 16.5 feet from each side of the track centerline, while the auger/blower assembly on the other end can throw snow well clear to either side of the machine.

    Thanks Michael. Great times being on track with all those Work Equipment machines. While I enjoyed every day (and night) working on the railroad(s), I’m quite content to be retired and able to look back on what I did through the photos I took. :-)

    Wonderful shot, but it shows why I live in Florida!! 82 (real degrees) today.
