In August, 2010, I was traveling through New York and decided to take some time to film some trains on what was still CP's Delaware & Hudson mainline between Albany and Binghamton. I wasn't disappointed by the volume of traffic along the line but there wasn't a single Canadian Pacific train to be found. It's no wonder that just a few years later, all of the D&H south of Albany would become part...

    I worked with these type of plows as brakeman & later Conductor on CP during my 37 years there. I've been retired 14 years. Ontario Southland Railway still uses them & there are films on here showing them on the same branchlines that I used to work on. We also used them to plow the main track to Guelph Jct on the CP Galt Sub. At Guelph Jct the single track ended & double track began. There was a double track plow there built by CP in 1915. It threw all the snow to the right. We'd plow to Streetsville, go around the wye & plow up the other track, then grab the regular plow & clear snow back to London, ON. On one occasion the plow foreman dropped the "nose" too soon & it hit the crossing planks and derailed the front trucks of the plow. You couldn't see anything in the caboose when the snow was heavy, I heard him blow for the crossing then saw the air go into emergency. When we finally stopped, I looked out the cupola window and saw the plow leaning left with its right front wheels riding the left rail. Thanks for showing this video, it brought back some memories.

      @@runner3033 We usually were called for a few days on those jobs. This was before Canada had a 12 hour limit. We would plow the lines to St Thomas, Port Burwell & St. Mary's on the first day, then stay at a motel in Woodstock. The last day we would plow east to Guelph Jct & switch to the double track plow. Back at the Jct after coming up the westward track, we would pick up the single track plow & head west to London. We usually did sidings too along the way. Each of these days usually started around 0600 (^am) and we would book off sometime around 2200 (10PM). Our nickname for snow was 'white gold". We made a lot of money on those jobs. Now there is hardly any snow & I'm long gone from the railroad game..

    At first I wondered why the wings are in a scoop configuration but I see the caught snow in the scoop creates a bigger wedge which forces the snow farther away from the tracks. ....... if I have that right.

      Funny you mention that. At the time I worked many of the plows, I was on the Conductor's Spareboard. That sparerboard was often referred to as "The King Board", I suppose because you made a lot of money working it. One of the spare brakeman gave me the nickname "the snowplow king", because I was on so many plows whether on the Woodstock branches or the Goderich line.

      @rjb5847 7 месяцев назад

      These plows are a bit different than the Russel plows. On Russells the "flange" between the rail is usually ahead of the rear truck. On these CP plows, the nose drops down at the front. The beauty of that arraignment is that the snow skinned out from between the rails is then channeled up the front of the plow & sent further away for the track. Sometimes we ran these plows on CP for the sole purpose of taking the packed snow out from between the rails. That snow would act like retarders on a hump & slow trains trying to climb grades. In that situation the plow had to come out sometimes , even if the overall snow accumulation was small.

    They need to work on their use of hand signals. Also the yelling out of distances to coupling is not an industry recognized or safe practice. I would also point out at 17:48, when the trainman stepped off the moving coach and onto the platform, he was putting his safety in jeopardy. He should have either stayed on the cut or never got on. At 20:48 the same trainman is riding he car , not facing the equipment and only maintaining two points of contact. Unfortunately a lot of railroad museum operations lack the basic understanding of proper operations. Most of them think they know everything and reluctant to get guidance from professionals.
