In the wake of Blizzard Juno, which dumped 2 feet of snow in southeast Connecticut, the Valley Railroad hauled out its
century+ old former Hoosac Tunnel & Wilmington homebuilt snowplow. GE 80-Ton Centercab 0901, built 1940, was the power.
Here is a link to a video of the plowing operation:

They have the Eagle flyer coming up in Feb where they run a train up the line looking for Bald Eagles.  Betting after tomorrows snow they will need to run the plow again.
