Anticipation: OSR's two FP9A's respond to the crew's heavy throttle application with snow drifts ahead.. a glorious, melodic sound is heard as their 567's groan in response, and our hearts (Crew and photographer) are all beating faster knowing that something exciting is about to happen. I won't post the next image immediately folks, but please comment below what you think comes next :)

    The two FP9A unit hit the huge snowbank then you get hit by the big drift of snow:)

    You got the shot I went looking for and paid a price for trying to catch them at Mossley. =)

    Thank you – Dave it’s all luck of the draw, since you really can’t chase OSR too easily. I didn’t scount in advance either..

    I almost stopped near Mossley and just kept trucking.. saw the drifts, and was like whoa.. hope I had enough time to walk in – only had 30 seconds to spare. I didn’t see any other large drifts but I missed 2/3′rds of the crossings.
