  • BNSFs Alliance based rotary works southward at milepost 17 on the Giltner Subdivision which runs between Aurora and Hastings, Nebraska, on December 28, 2009.
    The line has been closed due to a Christmas snow storm that brought 40mph sustained winds and heavy drifting during BNSFs annual holiday shutdown on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

    See all that snow piled up on the walkways of the pushers. That's what was so nice about the old cab or cowl units in this kind of weather. Nice and cozy inside, especially if you had to work on the engine. Hood units suck in bad weather.

    It's actually a bit more than that. Snow over a certain depth will only pack at the side of the track with a plow. You have to use a rotary to pick it up and disperse it away from the track. For Goran, not sure what your point is. There is nothing newer that will work better than a rotary in deep snow.

      "There is nothing newer that will work better than a rotary in deep snow."
      Wrong. Newer rotaries are far better. Not to mention that some of these better rotaries meanwhile are getting retired in favor of newer better rotaries.
      One of them is the japanese DD14, seen here: ruclips.net/video/lTQoaClT3Og/видео.html.
      Another awsome machine is the RhB 95403 of Rhätische Bahn in Switzerland, a big Zaugg double rotary blower, which can telescope his halves to work broader.
      Then there is the big Beilhack, another double rotary snow blower: ruclips.net/video/jCm18YJ810g/видео.html
      Why arent there (m)any daytime working videos in deep snow of the swiss rotaries? They work at night....... ;)

    • @SynchroScore
      @SynchroScore 5 лет назад +4

      The two machines you've linked to are much more limited in the depth of snow they can handle. They're hardly superior to this one.

  • @rhondaw1
    @rhondaw1 11 лет назад +3

    I've never actually seen one but, the rotary snow plow appears to be quite a bit slower than the 'push aside' types. Is the rotary plow thus reserved to move extra deep snow where the other types wouldn't do the job?

  • @RoughAndWretchedRAW
    @RoughAndWretchedRAW 4 года назад +1

    There is one thing about these massive rotary's I don't get. Why are they so gutless? I got a rotary on the 65 horse tractor that would have moved that snow faster than this and the rotary on my dads 150 hp tractor puts mine to shame. I could see them having to blow this slow if the snow was 12 feet high, but that size rotor with that kind of horse power should move 3 - 4 feet of snow at 5 miles an hour at least. Yet in these videos they are crawling then they stop then crawl then stop.

  • @willibill1
    @willibill1 12 лет назад +2

    I think one big steamer could have pushed that blower, as apposed to four diesels.

  • @MrZkr123

    Is it better to have AC or DC powered locomotives when snow plowing?

    • @SynchroScore
      @SynchroScore 5 лет назад +1

      DC locomotives are limited in how long they can operate at very slow speeds without risking overheating the motors (although on that's obviously a bit less of a problem in the winter). AC motors aren't quite as limited.

    By the way, $7881 spending of federal dollars per capita in nebraska. $8177 in new york.
    However, new york residents contribute $1,600 more per year in federal revenues per capita.
    So much for going without the government compared to New Yorkers.

    Why are Four Big Engines behind needed? I could understand if It was a V Snow Plough, but It is a Snow Blower Unit with a Slug suppling Power to the Snow Blower Front End. Two Engines should suffice.

    • @christopherguss
      @christopherguss  3 года назад +1

      You are correct. The day before it only had two locomotives and they were having mechanical issues, so they placed two more on the train that were working properly.

    Your annual average snowfall is 31. Central Park's is 27. There's hardly any difference.
    Syracuse gets 115. How much do you see on the news about syracuse snow?
    If Aurora NE had 20 million people, it might be a little more newsworthy.

    I don't live in NYC, though I do believe that the significant blizzards this year have been in the northeast. IIRC, philadelphia got about 35 inches in one shot in 2003, and further west from there where my parents live, 39.
    Don't blame a region for TWC's stupid names. It's not a real weather report, anyway, it's reality TV.
    Save your exaggerating for the bash, or are you afraid to go there because people call you out? I'm sure you get a lot more government aid there than you'll admit.
