OK, I was able to get a good one after all this morning.

Very little snow here in Dickey, but the passes got hammered. This morning the rotary came in early from Leadville, with #75 and #537, which was on the freight Thursday, and two cabooses. They spent some time clearing the yard, then headed East toward Breckenridge and points East, like Boreas, Como, and Kenosha. Eastbound Train No.71 with Engine #6 was following about 90 minutes behind when they went through here on time this morning. This photo was taken clearing the Leadville siding.

This train will return here tomorrow, and the rotary will be put away for the next storm. March and April usually bring the heaviest snow in the Rockies, so it's likely that we'll see #99200 again soon.
