| Remarks & Notes |
| The winter blizzards in the Midwest in February 1977 wreaked havoc on the area's railroads. This southbound N&W freight became stranded in a snow-filled cut just north of Emington. It was rescued by a borrowed UP rotary snowplow, and now a front loader is clearing the sides of the locomotives. Shortly, UP diesels will couple to the N&W train and will break it loose. |
