Southern Pacific Rotary Snow Plow - WPRM - 3/18/23

Special run of the SPMoW Rotary Snow Plow at WPRM.
The WPRM is one of the few museums in North America that features a working rotary snowplow. The ex-SP plow was built in 1927 and was the last on the railroad to be converted to diesel power. It was leased to the Western Pacific and used at Keddie and on the High Line after the WP retired their own plows. It was also one of the plows used to rescue the City of San Francisco in 1952.
Equipment featured:
SPMW 208 Rotary
SPMW 8221 Snail
WP 1503 SW1500
UP 25732 CA-10 Caboose

Well done.

Does the operator in the plow's cab control the pushing locomotive's throttle and brakes through m.u. connections?

[@2873SPGP9E]

Yes. 208 has a full locomotive control stand to control the pusher locomotive, using the normal M.U. connections.
