Plowing Snow: Fresh Powder on the Rails
Рет қаралды 2,640
Жыл бұрынWelcome to winter railroading! It's a cold, clear morning with a beautiful sky and some fresh powder! Time to plow the snow off the track, so we can keep it clear for the next load of wood pellets.

Oh wow We love when Millbrook Terminal. Transloads Railway and Vermont central Railway (The other beautiful recently made engines) team up and Mu their engines for snow plowing to run Millbrook Railway unit Trains of Pellets....very Enjoyable 😉😀😄👍❤

Why is snow plowing so relaxing 😌...(Yes we understand the Millbrook maintenance of way crews would never miss snow....But Millbrook Terminal Transload Railway Facilities Washington state subscribers ❤...would miss this operation. )( it be exciting if Shady pine and Millbrook machine shops and Foundry divisions team up and build a steam power track sweeper and rolertory plow........Oh can you imagine the Millbrook Railway production producers could run public steam power plow trains....

Wow what a difference between wet sticky snow vs dry powder, along with the icing of the rails. Ice is the nemesis of trains, you loose your grip in the rails due to the luberication effect by the ice melting as the wheels roll over it. blue skies are such a nice way to be outside. great job cleaning the tracks . take care Aaron, enjoy your day.

Hi Aaron, I love the way the snow went to the sides of the plow so quickly and easily once again. I also think the orange coupling holder will make the engine look great and I think it should be on the back of the engine. I also think if you put the coupling on the front of the plow, it should have the yellow coupling holder. I think the orange one would look better on the 71. I just like the bigger engine better than the smaller one. I love big engines with more color. Cory Mears

Man that was a nice run! Your snow is piling up there. Hope by now you can see your grass. We are getting high wind here with more thunderstorms coming. Pleasure as always! Have a great weekend! Thanks for sharing!

I could see a lot of grass until it started snowing again this afternoon.

Now that is a definition of a "snow blower" for real. The leaf blower! LOL This is a rare year for us here in Northern Ohio. We have had almost no snow this winter. I see now where it all went. Thanks for taking it from us! :) it sure gives your equipment. And you a work out.

I noticed that red snow plough on a stick seamed to work very well at the beginning of the video bro, not very railroady but looked to have good results. Safe travels

Why not cover the switch locations with tarps before snow so that clearing it is as easy as lifting a tarp?
@MillBrookRailroad Жыл бұрын
Tarps aren't easy to lift with hundreds of pounds of snow on them. I'd have to shovel the tarps off so I could plow.
