Rotary action on Donner Pass

*DISCLAIMER* Plug your ears at minute 7:35 if you are offended by curse word. Youtube won't allow me to edit it out due to the excessive views (lame). Sorry but I tried people! Train action along with rotary's clearing the snow bank on upper Donner Pass, Feb 25th, 2017. Union Pacific finally gets to test their newly re-built rotary #207 on Donner Pass from Cisco to Norden after the record wet winter of 2017. Most of the testing done was clearing the 8+ foot high drifts that were on both sides of the right of way in different areas. We had several stack trains as well as the flanger and Amtrak 5 & 6 hold up the rotary as well as some electrical issues when they left Emigrant Gap at about 6am. By the time they reached us at Troy at noon, they were moving quite swiftly and we later heard the unit performed beautifully. They managed to tackle their goal in 1 day and that evening took it back to Roseville. For you people so offended by the F word, shut the volume off at minute 7:35 as I cannot control near by doosh-bags and their talking. I also have footage from 2011 of the SPMW209....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpi_XjW64Yc
