World Best Snow Plow Train - Train Snow Blower

Hello Guys, Take a look at this mega Train snow blower in action and please SHARE if you're a fan of massive machinery taking Mother Nature on. In areas of particularly deep snowfall railroads sometimes created a train consisting of a rotary snowplow at each end, with the blade ends pointing away from each other, and two or three locomotives coupled between them. With a plow on each end, the train was able to return to its starting location even if the snow covered the tracks, it had just passed over. Such a train would also be able to clear multiple track mainlines efficiently as it could make a pass in one direction on one track, then reverse direction and clear the next track. An operator sits in a cab just above and behind the blade assembly to control the speed of the blades and the direction of output from the chute. With the increasing prevalence of diesel locomotives, multiple-unit train controls have been added to the cabs, so that the pushing locomotives can be controlled from the plow. An engine within the plow's carbody rotates the large circular assembly at the front of the plow. The blades on this wheel cut through the snow and force it through a channel just behind the disk to an output chute above the blade assembly. Many rotary plows are not self-propelled, so one or more locomotives are coupled behind it to push the plow along the line. The chute can be adjusted to throw the snow to either the left or the right side of the tracks. Snow can be a boon or...
