you wouldn't even have to armor something like this, if the conductor hides real low in the cabin I bet you could fire light machine guns at it and he'd still be safe and sound when its all over
@wampaAWESOMEsauce well of course if people are shooting at you in any situation you run away, so the train would probably start up and move away from the danger ... Perhaps if they shot the engine up enough to stop it.
@Steviethetornadokid Sure does. Can be anywhere from one guy to 3 or 4 depending on the version of Jordan spreader and the company. Someone has to operate the wings and move the front of the spreader up and down as you can't have the blade down when you pass over crossings or switches.... tends to rip out the ties in the crossing or rails in the switch and really mess up your day not to mention that of the engineer, conductor, trainmaster, etc.......
great video, this is a spreader not a plow. The spreader can push snow back further than a plow. This is useful to clean up after storms to clear crossing sight line, or yards etc. In this video he is taking the "flange" out between the rail. Buildup of snow between rails can slow down trains retarding wheels, and snow can build up over rails more quickly in later storms, which can affect braking. Spreaders are not as good for clearing drifted in cuts because they cant operate at track speed.
They where bringing it back to their shop for some repairs then they were going to head north where I think there's more than 2' of snow on the ground.
