I’ve done this work in the Cascades and it’s exactly as much fun as you can imagine. Getting called for snow service is like a kid getting to meet Santa Claus
Well, you'd need anywhere from 2-5 pounds of force per ton of weight just to get the train moving on straight track... Once a train picks up some speed, you might as well count momentum in tons, because even if it's wrong not much of a difference if it hits something...
@@kevinandersson4828 "You dont measure momentum in tons, and it isnt several tons..." Well one definition is .. "Momentum can be defined as "mass in motion."" So for a train that weighs several THOUSAND tons, I stand by my comment about the momentum given by that weight.
Doesn't that just make you want to move to the north country so you can experience the fun for yourself?! We northeners love watching video of Texans trying to drive on ice when it occasionally occurs in places like Dallas.

True, but if you as a engineer or trainstation supervisor put paying customers in such grave danger you centainly will be kept accountable in court. Afterall you don't have to plow snow with 60 miles an hour through a trainstation, could be with 10 miles just as good. This amount of snow with that speed, is like being hit by an avalange.
I used to be a breakman without much seniority back in the 70’s. So I was in the head end. And it’s even more fun than it looks busting through drifts. Especially at night!
I was just describing what it’s like to drive in the snow and this came up! But, no, you don’t...can’t see signals and you get banged around so much that 10 hours is too much (which is extended to 12 hours because of the foul weather). 2 years to retirement...can’t wait.
MF you’re spot on brother. Light reflecting from the snow, signal aspects covered, near zero visibility and brake shoes full of snow. Yeah it always makes for a twelve and a cab ride. Three years to go here. Stay safe out there!!
As weird as it sounds, I would LOVE to experience being in that wall of snow on the platform at least once in my life... As long as it's safe lol. It looks like a hell of an exciting experience just being engulfed by a cloud-wall of snow!
I would stand in a grassy field rather than a concrete platform with steel beams and benches personally. We used to lay next to the road when plows were going past as kids.
Little known fact: train engineers memorize the entire rail network in their area, similar to London cabbies. The best, like these fine folks, can drive a train blindfolded.

Spiders well, no issue
Took a Amtrak passenger route just for the snow views in 1978. Our track was clean as a whistle and the only snow we plowed through was just a tiny bit at crossings and even then it didn't seem like we were going 25 mph. Switzerland in 1984 was different......truly dashing through the snow.
yes loll I also imagined that You wake up in the middle of nowhere. It's evening. Then you hear horns, and see this monster coming out of nowhere and going straight at you. There's no escape.
Was driving east in a snowstorm in Eastern Wyoming once...saw this big cloud approaching from the rear...then remembered there were tracks on that side of the road. Really impressive to see a freight train go by at speed throwing the snow like here. Something I've never forgotten even though it was 30 years ago.

I worked up in Northern Remote Ontario Canada for a couple Rail Lines, yup miss it but near 28 years I'm good now however these memories are burned deep!
Strangely therapeutic to watch those snow drifts being blasted aside wave-like, but I guess it is troublesome in so many ways - we don't get snow around these parts
It's a "make the best of it" sort of thing. The worst part is ice - it's hard to avoid a nasty fall, or your car losing all traction, because different types of ice have different levels of slippery, and glare ice can be invisible from the vantage point of your driver's seat.
Cool, I love trains. But moving down a pile of snow? Awesome. Trains rock, I love em. Biggest locomotives with cool colors, I wish I knew which ones my best favorite.
True story in Lyon, France a few years back my party was on platform waiting for our train to Paris. Nobody really paying attention in the mostly quiet, empty station when passes through the Express 2nd track out. 330kmh 15 ft away gets your attention real quick!!!

Because its unsafe for passenger trains. These trains have to go through and clear the snow first or else passenger trains might get stuck or derail.
