Review of Assault on Snow DVD

 5 of 5 (4)
FEBRUARY 1988 - HEAVY SNOW SWEEPS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND PLAINS OF WYOMING AND COLORADO

Suddenly both branches of a new shortline, the Wyoming & Colorado are snowbound. The line consists of two ex-Union Pacific branch lines, the 92 mile Coalmont Branch from Laramie to Walden, Colorado and the 24 mile Encampment Branch off the Union Pacific mainline near Rawlins to Saratoga, Wyoming

February 17, 1988 - Three FP7's off the Alaska Railroad provided by Mountain Diesel Transportation set out to clear the Encampment Branch. When they become stuck in a massive snowdrift, rail photographer Dave Gross is there to record the struggle by the FP7's to free themselves with spectacular "punch and back out" plowing.

March 7, 1988 - With the Coalmont Branch snowbound, rarely used Union Pacific Rotary 900080 leaves Laramie, Wyoming to clear the line. Shooting under difficult conditions, Dave Gross captures the glorious show put on by the rotary.
