On February 25, 1972 train #324 traveling in a typical Maine snowstorm between Rockland and Bayside (near Waldoboro), encountered a snowplow extra travelling Westbound clearing the mainline. On the point of train #324 was 6 year old locomotive GP-38 251. The plow extra was clearing the Rockland branch from Brunswick to Rockland, doing the main West and the passing sidings going East. At the helm of the plow was my Uncle "Chick" Coulombe with GP-7 574 in the green and gold powering the extra. The engineer was Gordon Sears and the conductor was Dominic Veccioni.
