Caption: It's 6:04 PM and GEXR X518 is plowing westward on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, arriving in the farming community of Mitchell. On this run 3 men were up front operating the wings, flanger, and horn, plus 2 men the Engineer and Conductor in the trailing 3rd engine for a total of 5 men on this extra. The MOW men in the plow are paying close attention to the signs, and there are a ton on the pole just beside the farm pictured. The top 3 horizontal signs are to indicate to lift the flanger for the road crossing and the two switches just after the road: one for FS partners and the other is the Moffat & Powell spur. The 2 angled signs are to alert the crew to retract each wing for obstructions - which would be the upcoming two Switchstands. This was my last shot in sun, 10 minutes later it would set for good behind clouds and I would turn for home. I probably should have just gone to see what it was like at Wards cut... but these were heady days, I don't remember exactly how many plows I shot that year, but it was about 2 dozen. It was an insane winter - and right now I'm typing this as we get a crap ton of rain on January 11! Rats!
