The group includes matched bright bay horses with gold harness, two solemn blue liveried footmen, a black terrier, and a heavily furred drag.

Snow Ploughs and Men Fight Winter Snowfall
The Northwestern Railway Company has spent over 300000 in the snow fight since October. Thirty four snow ploughs and multiple locomotives operated to clear blockages. A 52000? pound plough backed by heavy ballast failed against a 52000? foot drift and lodged among trees. From a cut 24000 cubic yards were removed, but wind piled snow again in eight hours. Nine thousand men have worked as shovellers.
