I had never seen a snowplow train at work until this morning. While out looking for Bohemian Waxwings I became distracted by this “boy toy”! We have had approximately 20 inches of snow in Duluth over the past five days. This amount of snowfall requires some work on the part of the local railroad, particularly clearing the “high and deep” snowbanks which have been created by “road plows” at each railroad crossing. The video … three parts in total … runs about two minutes. Steps #1 and #2 for clearing the snowbank may catch you by surprise. There are a lot of gadgets and attachments on this train!
