Cathedral, BC

The Plow Train works along the flanks of Mount Steven past the slide fence and a "CPR Lego" retaining wall. The train has
spent the last 90 minutes waiting patiently just outside the lower portal of the Lower Spiral Tunnel although the crew did
wonder if there was any place close where they could "order in chinese". One of the "bombs" dropped from high above failed
to go off and has rolled down onto the tracks. The bombs have a timer that stays active for an hour before deactivating.
When the device timed out the helicopter dropped two people (presumably one of them being the inaccurate bombardier)
at the rockshed just to the east. They quickly hustled down the tracks to retrive their errant charge. The helicopter then
returned to pick them up and once they were safely airborne the train was free to carry on. Some actual plowing was
done here where a small amount of snow made it down to the tracks.
