Snowplow on Donner - December 12, 2022

[George Harris]

Maybe this is the place for this, although it is a link to a news item. 3:55 minutes of low arial (drone?) views of a wing snowplow in action on the line near/in Donner Pass. Two plows in action. A Wing Snowplow on each end with two locos in the middle. Not all views of the same setup. A couple showing both sets.

Watch a train bulldoze through feet of snow in California’s Donner Pass

The orange locomotive plows through the powder with ease in northern California, clearing a path for other trains making their way through the Sierra Mountains.
