This morning I’m on my way to Stevens Pass for a winter railfanning adventure. From other railfan reports there isn’t much snow up there this year. In fact 6″ is the report from “the slot” where the photo below was taken in January 2008. During that winter several snowfall records were set and BNSF was one big snow storm away from not having any where to put snow in some locations. Fortunately for them the weather held and a concentrated effort with the slot train through February cleared out the tight spots. Thanks El Niño.
