Yea, here is some incredible footage from Southeastern Colorado, and Western
Kansas...

First off, 3 BIG SD's and a wedge plow make a run at a massive snow drift,
and get spectacularly stuck in the process

MAN O MAN! listen at those EMD's start howling!!!

Freeing the Plow, with 6 units.....

Notice how the crew, cannot see where they are at, or even what's
ahead..they rely on folks outside with radios...

I bet some of those "operations" folks are glad we don't get it like that
often!
