I'm just glad to see there's life out on that Kyle Railway. Been driving through the section of I-70 that parallels the railroad twice a year for 15+ years now, never seen a single train moving. Of course, we see the parked cars all the time and even they barely move.
It almost looks like, to me, an old steam engine's Vanderbilt type rounded tender. If so, would they fill it with water or sand? As well, I wonder what it is like for the train crew, this plow not including a cab of some type, when visibility becomes difficult watching out for those upcoming snow drifts!
I love your videos lol. By far my favorite train vids on youtube. Do you guys still run the SP and ATSF colors today? I'm sure you've witnessed alot of what I wish I could only see; born Aug '86
Hopefully it comes down like mad hell so you can break them Tunnel Motors like wild horses lol. They sound so great and they've came so far from Tehachapi duty.
@@railroad33 Too bad few people give source of their material, you supposed to get much much more view and like. This is one of my favorite railroad snow plow videos. With good locomotive sound, EMD, I love it; with enough speed and good splash of snow. Especially when you drive parallel with the plow. Another sample is CN plow train I remember.
If a drift is highly sloped and much deeper on one side, can it force the plow to the other side and derail it? What about ice in flangeways at grade crossings? Would a sharp disk ahead of the wheel cut it up enough that wheel flanges could cut through with out riding up and derailing?

Amazing video. Congratulations!!
NICE SNOWPLOW VIDEO!!!
Wow It's amazing
Thanks for posting 5*

OMG nice video that things a beast!
just as a matter of interest, what do they load the plow up with to give it weight? I would have thought they would have to to keep it on the tracks.

Is this the original post? Been seen this every where about railroad snow plow.
Yes, this is the original. People have been using it on other post.

Awesome vidéo. 5*
WHOA that's cool!
I love this one :D
How close to the rails does the blade go? I'm guessing it don't scrap 'em.
Are trains frequent on those line? the ground hasn't snow anymore
@railroad33 and i'm sure the plow creates downforce, kinda like the wing on a race car
for once i am mad i live in florida and don't get to see these things
coooool
I think...it´s the best Job in the World.. Hiii HA!!!
What happened to these videos?
Here's another one, but you can't see too much.
Watch and see how high the snow flies!
watch?v=LOr4ekEZ49s
Everytime i see a plow, part of me wants it to get stuck.
If a drift is highly sloped and much deeper on one side, can it force the plow to the other side and derail it?

@railroad33 the plow also created downforce
no fajnie
