With weather conditions and the mechanical failure blinding the plow crew, Snider used his intimate knowl edge of the highway alignment to di rect the convoy home via two - way radio to the rotary from his place in the following express truck.

The rotary reached Yuba Gap at 4 am, Wednesday, a fresh crew took over under more favorable weather conditions, and four hours later had covered the miles to the point where the Streamliner's passengers were picked up by auto from Nyack Lodge.

At 11 pm. The plow completed the return trip to Nyack and the way was clear for one of the most dramatic mass rescues in the colorful history of the high country.
