Totally AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Darn what great footage, well done. I guess you can tell I love snow plows. Wish you could see the old S.P. rotary snow plows working the Sierra. Loved the footage! Bob
Great catch Dave, as those plows were "dashing through the snow"! Also, on the last clip, after the pick-up of the plow leader, great sound of those GEEPS TAKING-OFF!
You really have some of the best winter/snow vids I've seen. We certainly can't capture any vids like what you have down here in central Texas. I like your work and your efforts.
I wanted to comment on your vid....it's fantastic!! You were in the right places at the right time. Good work! Could you provide a little info on the oil train? Does it run on any kind of a regular schedule? Does it usually go into Brunswick? I live in Augusta and would like to be able to see the train, but I would need some kind of an idea of when and where to be to see it. Thanks!
I was wondering how the cleared snow off the tracks. Once I clicked this video I was like of course they use a train. They are so heavy there ain't nothing that's going to stop then once they get going.
As a kid who grew up playing in the ball field behind the second crossing, I'm bummed that you didn't mention New Gloucester in your video titling. I'd recognize that intersection in Lower Village on RT 231 any day. Great video, of course.
The last train with the huge plough....could it push snow as high as the blade & if so, for how long, I mean how many miles of show that high could it push etc? I know nothing but find it absolutely fascinating. Here in England, 1 inch of snow & the country's roads close down!!
Much of the height is there to provide a path for the snow to go to get it up and in the air and moving to the side. Depending on how heavy the snow is, it may go through snow that deep. Most of the time where they run into a situation where this would be used would be drifts on the plains. Those can run into long distances, but usually don't. There are other snow removal trains, including rotary snow blowers that are used to clear even deeper depths of snow. A huge part of why this happens and trains still travel in this part of the US, where such my not happen in England is that of late, an inch of snow in England is a rare occurrence that your road crews don't have the experience to be ahead of. We see that at many places in the US as well where an inch of snow is far more than places like Atlanta are prepared for. On the other hand snow that will bring Minneapolis to a standstill is more or less expected and planned for in central and northern Canada.
you have to have a buffer between the locomotive and a hazmat car. A tanker car is considered a hazmat car. Depending on the contents and the plaque determines how far away that car needs to be from the locomotive. Some cars have a minimum buffer zone of 6 cars. And some have a minimum of one.
Buffer car is for in case of accident. For example if the locomotive catches on fire or crashes into something, you do not want the oil or chemicals in the tank cars to catch on fire also.
I saw one on RUclips last year, from some palce un the United States where they hit a tree and bent the handlerails on the front of the engine up pretty good.
All modern trains that dont use cola to make steam have diesel generators that spin a generator and then there electric motors on the wheels thats how they all work anymore

Wow, that is one of the most amazing snowplow trains I’ve ever seen😃😃😄😀🎉🎉
1:07 sounds like a jet plane! The engines in these things must be incredible!
EMD 645 engines, provide 3000 HP
Truly awesome video. I'm jealous! Such a rare opportunity, and you did a phenomenal job chasing and filming. Added to favorites!
Awesome!!!!!! Great light, nice closeups. Excellent video.
Wow! I had never seen a railroad plow before. Impressive!
1:40
Snow: I am a big Wall
Train: Hold my beer
Nah, in mother Russia is like: "hold my vodka nigga"
The train signals as if saying "Move! Outta the way! Final warning!!"
*metal pipe falling sound effect*
Great Snow Video
Nice catch and that Maine Central plow is still in original paint!
1:53 damn that Compressor idle on the Ex. Conrail C40-8w is badass
Awesome video! You sure got "dusted" in that crossing! Brrr!! Seriously nice catches!
Totally AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Darn what great footage, well done. I guess you can tell I love snow plows. Wish you could see the old S.P. rotary snow plows working the Sierra. Loved the footage!
Bob
Really cool stuff bro! That is one eerie sounding horn on that plow, keep 'em coming!
Truly shows how powerful trains are, there nothing that’ll stop them
0:35 that horn echo is everything
Wonderful compilation!
-Max.
0:23 Oh my... a huge moving flatiron! Neat!
I still love to watch this video just to see how far the plows can throw the snow!
That Bell sound and this train track reminds me Back to the Future movie train scene
Nice meeting you today! Awesome video!
Short interesting videos like these help me keep a steady mind😌
Great catch Dave, as those plows were "dashing through the snow"!
Also, on the last clip, after the pick-up of the plow leader, great sound of those GEEPS
TAKING-OFF!
Don Richard how do you know him
First one is really terrifying I do not like the horn is so creepy that the horn gives me the chills
Same
Awesome video !
Wow! I have never seen a plow in action for the railroad.

Parallel race between two Indian Railways train
Do watch
Very nice video.
You really have some of the best winter/snow vids I've seen. We certainly can't capture any vids like what you have down here in central Texas. I like your work and your efforts.
Why not? Don't you have any snow plow trains in Texas?
+John Doe ... LOL.... no snow to plow here.
;)
werksdesign rõ
werksdesign sailing. Boats
Awesome snow scenes
I know this area well and I really enjoyed your vid.
probably the fastest I've ever seen them go
Now thats awesome!!!
This is better than watching Homer Simpson run on a treadmill.
Very hypnotic... soothing... and kinda freaky.
:)
That is some cool video clips! Wow!
What was the power on the plows, GP50/60s?
Awesome! I've never seen one of those.
Would love to be the driver of one of those beasts.
Reminds me of the prison escape movie Runaway Train. One of the best movies I've ever seen.
Train: *honks
Snow: "ah shiet! Here we go again"
This looks so satisfying
How satisfying was that!!
Very nice... well-done vedio... Thanks! Gordon in Maui
Plow train functioning nice looking..
This is great a train plowing through the snow a good scene (good video)
Thanks!
I love this video! Awesome!!
Another Great Video
at :47, that kind of view always gives me the jeeblies. something about a narrow profile with high vertical headlights head-on always makes me uneasy.
Horns are plugged from the snow. Got to keep them blowing constant in heavy snow plowing.
I've been wondering why that horn sounded like that
Wow !!! Super !!!
Cool video and a thumbs up liked.
AWSOME!!!!
Super - Красота!

That is the first time I have EVER seen a CSX locomotive on Maine's railroads.
How can this video have any thumbs down? you're not a true Railfan if you don't love videos like this.
1:45 эхх..... только дорогу почистили
Very cool
That tree at 50 seconds got it's ass kicked!! Awesome stuff!
yup

yep people's are always never happy, no matter what you video
This was taken in Maine.
Muy hermoso pero se q hay un vídeo con música de Moby en recorrido es espectacular eso buscaba gracias cuántas maravillas
Вот это хорошо,а у нас все вручную,особенно переезд понравился...
Дааа. Там где должна техника работать у нас люди маслают.
Very nice video... Where the oil train come from?
Gee... and a few decades ago it used to be "Pan Am Airways"... now it's Pan Am Railways... plowing through the snow was cool, though.
What a seen very beautiful

Appreciate your response...I like lots of snow so Minneapolis is my next stop..;-))
Hi ajandrew - Where do you live in England? We've just had snow in Northumberland and the traffic is still moving as though it never snowed!!
Superb videos
Hear that horn in Moonless night, And I will surely shat my pants!
Arjun Chatterjee freak
Nice to see the g running, ghostly horn tho
Forgive me for asking a dumb question, But on the oil trains, why is there ALWAYS a boxcar before all the tank cars?
A curious mind can never ask a dumb question.
you have to have a buffer between the locomotive and a hazmat car. A tanker car is considered a hazmat car. Depending on the contents and the plaque determines how far away that car needs to be from the locomotive. Some cars have a minimum buffer zone of 6 cars. And some have a minimum of one.
Maybe to haul tools?
Buffer car is for in case of accident. For example if the locomotive catches on fire or crashes into something, you do not want the oil or chemicals in the tank cars to catch on fire also.
German trains in WWII used to put a flat bed in front of the engines to explode mines
Awesome vid!

do you know when the snow plows are coming? if so could you send a reply... so yeah.
Very cool 😎
Im moving to maine soon from north dakota, I heard its way better there than here!
I wonder if Pan Am put heat back in those plows. They sat for years. The MEC one looks like it needs a paint job!
Я не хвастаюсь но у нас в России поезда посмотрите как снег чистят
До самых шпал чистота
Николай Шилов наверное малодеятельные участки показали
Shovelling snow all day only breaking snowbanks while not breaking a sweat.
lol, it looks like they pulled the 502 out of a snowbank after 10 years
0:47~1:16 I like it.
Cool.
Good thing they had the plows because of that tree they hit a 0.52 into the video.
I saw one on RUclips last year, from some palce un the United States where they hit a tree and bent the handlerails on the front of the engine up pretty good.
Naw, a tree can do damage, but it have t around the size of Redwood or a large Douglas fir to derail a train
where was this taken?
what type of loco is CSX 7395?
CSX #7395 is a GE C40-8W locomotive. It was originally Conrail (CR) #756.
The horn on the 7395 tho
people who plow the roads then the train comes by 😬
All modern trains that dont use cola to make steam have diesel generators that spin a generator and then there electric motors on the wheels thats how they all work anymore
Like a ancient monster
Nice
Whats with the horn of the train?
why do they need to go?
Cool
0:25 and 3:53, is that an old Maine Central Russell Snow Plow?
Yes
it's like sand it goes everywhere
loling charles!!
👍👍👍👍👍❤
