[welderman27]

[railroad33]

No, just that one time in 22 years.

[welderman27]

oh ok that aint bad god it sure does look like fun. I use to live out in Winter Park Colorado for about 3 years and I never even thought about how you guys clear the tracks

[hectoryfany123]

shit another fuckign train!!!

[drglinski]

The plow looks like it was mounted on an old Vanderbilt tender from the steam days. It was going too fast for me to tell for sure. If I'm not mistaken they filled the water tank with cement for ballast.

[railroad33]

Yes sir ,you are correct on that. It's an old Rock Island Plow filled with cement.

[Lmackattack]

what is used for ballast on the snowplow car? Am i correct to say it has to be heavy to not lift up in the snow banks??

[Mchitheguy]

ya no kiden

[Jonny4472]

i wouldnt want to be standing beside it when it passes, you,d be buried alive

[ch3sterp]

how do those snowplows work? do they go right over the front of the engine... is that why they have to use their horn so much over railroad crossings because they cant see?

[recoil404]

haha dont most trains use their horns through crossings anyways?

[Jonny4472]

yep

Blowing the whistle in deep snow keeps the whistle from getting plugged with snow.

The jointed rail sounds good.
