Durango, Colorado was buried under 36 inches of snow following several storms that had passed through the San Juan Mountains, the week of January 17, 2010. The railroad was snowed in. Cuts north of Rockwood were filled with snow, and a number of snow slides had run between Rockwood and Cascade Canyon. Machines of Iron was there to show you how the flanger train and the maintenance of way crews and their equipment handled the snow.

SEE A GREAT FILM ABOUT A LITTLE RAILROAD COMPANY BY THE NAME OF DURANGO/SILVERTON RAILROAD COVERED IN LOTS AND LOTS OF SNOW IN COLORADO. IN 2010 THE SAN JUAN MOUNTAINS WERE HIT A BAD SNOW STORM, AND MACHINE OF IRON WAS THERE TO SHOW YOU OW THEY HANDLED THIS STORM. AWESOME SCENERY AND 5 STARS AND 55 MINUTES LONG.

A neat insight into the D&S winter operations when snow is heavy. One of the only places in the US where a narrow gauge flanger on a steam railroad can be required in the winter time to keep the trains running. Watch 473 battle through the snow with the flanger in this awesome video.
