We took the train from Sacramento to Chicago in March. A two ft snowfall in Denver collapsed the airport roof. We crept through the Rocky Mts. while a snowplow train cleared our way to Denver station. We picked up the air passengers who couldn't fly out. Even tho we got back to Chicago 9 hours late, Amtrak payed for overnight hotel, served supper to everyone on the train, paid cabfare to & from hotel, lunch money til our train left & a train ticket for the train we missed . That's service!
It seems a railroad observation truck must accompany these plows. If that is so how the heck to they plow the thousands of miles of rail line in the US. You can't always have a truck ground crew spotting
I dont think fhe engineer or crew can see much. I worked 28 years on a railroad, in many snowstorms. When we hit snowdrifts on tracks we had whiteout conditions and we had to stop. Hitting something or someone you "didnt see" was a bad thing.
If you are the original owner of this video you need to shut down the people who have plagiarized it all over youtube. Some of them have adsense enabled on them and they are making money off of your video that YOU should be making. 1 channel has over 1 million views on this video and that translates into roughly $500 to $1000 that you could have made.
man that plow is soooooooooo small. the train that i drive has a bigger plow and it can move ten times more snow. and the train it self stands like 20 ft tall so that train can suck it.
And thats an old Rock Island "loaf of bread" tender that was converted to a plow on the point. Even more cool

on other videos of the same plow train, I heard a spotter over the radio... perhaps it is a plane or helicopter spotting for them?
some of those waves are better than Easter at the Bells Beach comp!
No need to see :) Track stops them from going anywhere but where they're supposed to.
Sweet!
