On the wet and stormy night of 3 January 2008, the crews at Roseville, California have fired up an SPMW rotary snowplow to test it and have it ready in case things get bad enough on The Hill to require the rotaries.? In the event, flangers and spreaders were able to handle the snow in 2008, but the rotaries would be called out in March 2011 after the weather had shut down the mountain.
Still, seeing the crews checking out the plow and F7B "snail" power car and listening to the sound of a 567B idling away, gave an electric feel to the air that night.??

Kelani Valley Line J1a 4-6-4T 264 switching at Maradana station, in Colombo, Sri Lanka. 13 Feb 1980. The Kelani Valley Line goes east from Colombo and was 2' 6" gauge when we were there in 1980, with a mix of steam and diesel engines powering trains of wooden coaches. The line has since been broad gauged. We had gotten a cab ride on this engine from Dematagoda shed back to Maradana station and I got a photo of the crew, which I made prints of and sent to someone at the railway to give to the crew.
