Snow Plowing & Lots of Rerailing

This video shows Dennis Ward plowing snow with a miniature train at Train Mountain, and doing lots of rerailing. There are several demonstrations of using a rerailing plate to get the train back on the track.


A handheld Panasonic S1H camera was used to film this video in V-log. Processing was done with DaVinci Resolve Studio 16.1.

Perfect combo, snow and trains. Love it

I enjoyed this video. I live in southern Ontario Canada. I worked for Canadian Pacific for nearly 40 years and that included plenty of snowplows in the 70s & 80s. We derailed sometimes too on the "full scale" operation. On lightly used branchlines, the section crews would drive to certain problem crossings & salt the rail flangeways to prevent ice related lifting us at the crossing. Those wet snow & rapid freeze events were really problematic.

This is how I want to spend my winter days.

that re-railing plate sure is useful!!

This is amazing! I’ve only ever seen little kid trains, but this... this is what I want to spend my life doing.

A very powerful loco, I was very impressed by how easy it drove through the ice snow.😊😊😊

That is so, so, cool. I typed "small train plowing through snow" here on YouTube. This is what I got. So, so cool. Thank you Tom! Kudos to Dennis in the pic. Subscribed.

I must say that re=railing is a whole lot easier with those little guys. Thanks for sharing.

An excellent video. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.

Cool video. That looks like a lot of fun! Except, of course, stopping to re-rail the train. That plate sure is the cats pajamas!

Santa Claus owes me a miniature train since 1969 ..., calculating the interest, he should give me one like this.

A rerailer plate like that is what full sized railroads should use.

The snow being pushed aside is a great scene! I world worry about the ice derailing the locomotive. Beautiful setup and winter scene. Stay warm and on track, my friends .

OMG, what an awesome way to spend a winter’s day!!!!

[stephendrivick]

With the exception of the derailments, that looks like a lot of fun 🥶😀👍

[stevearnold]

Oh man! I definitely got to get over from Grants Pass soon to plow some snow. That looks like a blast!

[fireandcopper]

It's so cool to see a scaled down engine, it isn't as catastrophic when it derails

I hope you have a great Christmas this year and get all the trains you wanted!

[infledermaus]

You need to attach a small RC aircraft jet engine to melt the ice! 🤣🤣🤣 I just watched videos of snow removal in Donner Pass, and I can't stop chuckling watching you plowing your rails. 😊 I sent your link to a couple of friends who are train enthusiasts. They'll love this!

Oh gosh. I already fell in love with Train Mountain when I first saw a video about it on YT (I'm from Europe, so that's for the nearest future the only way to enjoy that place), but now I definitely know that if there's a heaven on Earth for me, it's definitely there. Amazing job!
