Description
Broom work is never done after a good snow on the PAL!
It's February 16th, 2021 and a cool 10 degrees outside (even colder with the wind chill) as two Paducah and Louisville Railway employees work on clearing snow and ice from the switches at West Yard in Madisonville, Kentucky.
On shortline and regional railroads this scene is repeated a lot, even on many of the class ones, epically with the recent snow front that moved through much of south in areas that normally don't get snow! I'm told that CSX in the Nashville area had crews doing this same thing all around the city!
Remember, it's not always about the power on the railroad! It's folks behind the scenes like the maintainers, MOW folks, Dispatchers, ect. that make it all move!
