FTLComm - Tisdale - Thursday, March 23, 2006 | ||||||
This afternoon I shipped off to R.W. Shire the short video clip below. I had made the clip on Wednesday near noon just east of Tisdale and recalled that Mr. Shire had more than his share of adventures working one of these massive machines. As a CN roadmaster he often road shotgun, sometimes with his foot on the wing blade peddle as he and an operator would head out on a desolate prairie line to clear it of snow. |
