  • The Sno-Train connected to the Sno-Freighter During its Recovery

    After the Sno-Freighter caught fire and became immobilized, it sat for five years in a valley within the Yukon Territories. The Sno-Freighter’s owner contracted with the Army to go in and retrieve the Sno-Freighter with the Sno-Train and personnel familiar with the machines. The image seen below was captured by Augustin “Marty” Martinez, the Non-Commissioned Officer in charge of the recovery mission.
