Train Snow Plowing Action -Ice, Drift Busting, Drone views and more!-

In order to keep the tracks clear for trains, railroads across the state of Minnesota have been putting these large, mesmerizing, and impressive plows to good use. We'll chase one of these steel titans on the BNSF Railway from the Twin Ports to Grand Rapids, MN in this video.

Starting off in Brookston, we'll see a former Great Northern plow working its way along the tracks. Power for this movement was a pair of classic EMD geeps. With its wings out, it kicked up snow, cleared a wide swath, and demolished drifts in its path. It was quite a sight at grade crossings where snow, ice, and other debris were sent into the sky due to the force and power. Along the way way, the drone offers some unique views of the action! In one of the last shots, I even got buried in all of the slush kicked up!

Great video. I love watching snow removal on the train tracks.

AWESOME video and catch of them plowing the snow. Really Enjoyed watching.

The drone shots are awesome-it’s pretty cool and easy to see from the high angle how those plows just pulverize those snow banks. Thank you and great job!

I love it I live beside Canadian Pacific tracks and on big snow days they plow that snow right off the tracks and send it flying I love watching it. I wish they would make one like that I can use on my sidewalk on them Snowy drifting days.

Why do snowplows of all railroad equipment have such GREAT horns. That K3LA sounds very ATSF-like.

[ryanfrogz]

Great catch! love seeing spreaders in action

[railroadfansandfun]

What an awesome video! I would love to see one of these in person!

At grade crossings there's always a battle between rail and road. The snowplow comes along the road and pushes the snow onto the rail track, and then the rail snowplow comes along and throws it all back onto the road! 😀

This was the clean up crew. Too bad the roads were so bad and the line runs through the middle of the swamp to catch the run breaking trail to Hibtac during the storm.

I would love to have that particular horn on my rig

This is so sick! Really great video of a snowplow in full action ;)

Hey thats so cool! I caught those 2 geeps trailing on the SUPNTW yesterday! Pretty awesome set of power. 2 SD60Ms, an SD40-2 and those 2 geeps. Must have been going to back to Northtown Yard. Nice to see some up-north action!

I've never seen this before I wish if it gets bad in Oak Grove MN this Train plow could go all the way to Oak Grove to Superior WI that's very interesting

[maxwellbutler]

I live in Grand Rapids. This is pretty common up north here. I’ve seen that one and one of them big johns with the huge tall blade on it. We have an actually rail yard here so that’s probably where it comes from

[dhdisprsmith]

Fantastic! I see you got dusted at a few spots! Hearing the plow hit the crossing is a bit unnerving.

[EWLR]

When the plow ran between Superior and Kelly Lake the day before or after this it had two GP60M's.

[fireguy]

I think that is the next great northern plow they are using….

[BlatantSockPuppet]

Great vids! How do you guys know when and where these plows will be operating?
