Train snowplowing on the Kyle Railroad.

[AnotherAmateur]

How close to the rails does the blade go? I'm guessing it don't scrap 'em.

surfs up

[MrKyvegas00]

my favorite part was when it was plowing the snow

[robertgift]

If a drift is highly sloped and much deeper on one side, can it force the plow to the other side and derail it?

What about ice in flangeways at grade crossings?

Would a sharp disk ahead of the wheel cut it up enough that wheel flanges could cut through with out riding up and derailing?

I'm just glad to see there's life out on that Kyle Railway. Been driving through the section of I-70 that parallels the railroad twice a year for 15+ years now, never seen a single train moving. Of course, we see the parked cars all the time and even they barely move.

Snowplowing train Vs Snow....... the answer is ovbious :O!

[OssyTuber]

Bet it's a cool job, boom-boom!!

[CautionChildrens]

awesome perspective.

[tomasson7777]

no fajnie 

[dasparkylad]

How do they keep the ploughs wheels on the tracks if theres snow and ice on it? Pure weight?

[railroad33]

@dasparkylad Yes its the weight. This plough has sand and concrete in it. It don't take much ice to derail it as you can see on my other video " Snow Plow Derailment". Thanks !

[joek0617]

@railroad33 the plow also created downforce

[joek0617]

@railroad33 and i'm sure the plow creates downforce, kinda like the wing on a race car

[andrewhshirley]

i would love to hop this train!!! very cool...

[Tcaauwe2002]

ehehe great video. LSRC up here by me now owns the third unit in the consist in the video. is a 4300 somethin..

[train52000]

You sure wouldn't want to get by that snow plow. It probably split the car in half. Not to mention, there's a lot of horse power there.

[Abaft6]

WHOA that's cool!

[avionicswirenut]

Cool vid....

[ugkette]

Are trains frequent on those line? the ground hasn't snow anymore

[xam107]

[RetSquid]

Here's another one, but you can't see too much.

Watch and see how high the snow flies!

[MyDavid1960]

love the sound of those locos opening up when they com to a drift lol

[Railbuff23]

Fuck the plow more of the engines would be better

[ISO8]

Wow It's amazing

Thanks for posting 5*

[dodge2500360]

whats the chances of one of those derailing?

[railroad33]

Look at my other video "train snowplow derailment". 50/50

[VideoGamerBerlin]

I think...it´s the best Job in the World.. Hiii HA!!!

[SonicFreak4]

Thats an awesome train, and the plow look pretty cool itself. Nice video.

[PhilbruProduction]

Awesome vidéo. 5*

[torn80s]

Now that is the way to plow, I used wonder about snow removal on train tracks. Great video. Learn something new everyday.

[est86leo]

I love your videos lol. By far my favorite train vids on youtube. Do you guys still run the SP and ATSF colors today? I'm sure you've witnessed alot of what I wish I could only see; born Aug '86

[railroad33]

We still do run them and some others that they leased including our own Kyle ones.  Thanks!! and glad you enjoyed the vids. Hopefully we'll get more snow this winter where we can run the snow plow again and get more vids. put out.

[est86leo]

Hopefully it comes down like mad hell so you can break them Tunnel Motors like wild horses lol. They sound so great and they've came so far from Tehachapi duty.

[Bondidog]

just as a matter of interest, what do they load the plow up with to give it weight? I would have thought they would have to to keep it on the tracks.

[railroad33]

The plow that derailed had dirt, concrete,and chuncks of steel in it. Thanks

[Chrysantares]

I wouldn't want to be in front these engines ! They definetly show they have the horsepower to plow snow.

[MagnusBruce]

:o

that was quite awesome.

[freckldnred]

very nice.

[SJ77F100]

for once i am mad i live in florida and don't get to see these things

[skatelusen]

i live in sweden and we get about 50 cm to 1,5 m snow here, but i've never seen a train running amok on snow O.O

[heyeveryoneimcool]

Everytime i see a plow, part of me wants it to get stuck.

[jason450rr]

Awesome video hopefully you will take a ton more this season.

[Viper007Bond]
