Title
Blizzard
of '
49
: As
rail
lines
opened
the
military
shipped
hundreds
of
bulldozers
and
other
heavy
equipment
west
.
Description
This
photographs
was
taken
in
Broken
Bow
of
equipment
bound
for
Alliance
.
Just
as the
Nebraska
economy
was
settling
down
after
the
war
, the
blizzard
of
1948-49
hit
. Its
magnitude
staggers
the
imagination
.
It
was the
worst
blizzard
in
recorded
history
. A
series
of
storms
began
in
November
of
1948
and
continued
straight
through
to
February
of
1949
. The
snow
stopped
trains
,
buried
houses
, and
threatened
nearly
a
million
head
of
cattle
.
Operation
Haylift
was a
massive
,
perhaps
desperate
,
effort
to
save
livestock
.
Date
1948-1949
