Off today I go, knowing exactly where and with what intentions for my picture(s) of the day will be. Absolutely beautiful day here in Westwood, I was welcoming the walk to town along with being thankful for the benefits! Fresh air, warmth on my back. The solitude I am finding because of this blog, again was an unexpected surprise. The walks with no-one except me there, enjoying the things I do so delight in. (Like today I heard a bunch of frogs) I love frogs, and they seemed to have vanished from around here these last few years. I not only don't see them, I never hear them any more! Friends and aquaintances that see me walking asking if I want a lift. So far except once by Mrs. Q on voting day I have declined. We will see if I decline so easily in the dead of winter LOL! So without further ado, I give to you a little piece of the westwood R.R. and I do not mean R&R. LOL!!!
From Ash Street.
Getting close to the tracks. Just look at those blades in front!
And from behind
In case you can not read below the numbers, it says Rotary Snowplow Power Plant, something I need and want to look into further
Sooo pretty, don't you think?
I wish it could be seen better, but the white sign on the right says Westwood as these tracks start to turn the corner.

Nice pictures. There was an old round house in Como. In the days of the railroad, the kept and old rotary snowplow there. Of course it was steam powered, because the rail road was taken up in 1932. I have seen pictures of they snowplow in actions on Boreas Pass. At times they had to post men on top of it with shovels to clear an addition couple of feet that was above the hieght of the snowplow.
