Clearing the tracks Item Info
- Title:
- Clearing the tracks
- Date Created (ISO Standard):
- 1955
- Approximated Date:
- yes
- Description:
- A stout, low-geared logging locomotive pushes one of Potlatch Forests, Inc. snow plows up a stiff bit of grade along merry creek, near Clarkia, Idaho. The snow was only a few feet deep but had settled with repeated thawings (it was spring at lower altitudes) into a heavy compact mass atop the rails. The locomotive and plow backed away time after time and charged it like a rampaging bull before this section of track was finally cleared. Description taken from the back of the photograph.
