That was awesome! Like many people my age, who experienced it, love to say, "I remember during the blizzard of '78 when..." And so, "...when I heard a locomotive revving up, running for a bit, then shutting down. I went outside to look, and there was a GP38 ramming snow drifts to clear the local line near our house. It was amazing to see it run notch 8 into the drift with an explosion of snow over the hood, glowing in the headlight. Back-and-forth it went until it cleared the line. The line normally ran SW1500's. Seeing the Geep punching through the snow was just magic." The line is still in operation by the Ohio Central. Thanks for sharing!
@@steamlogger I watch your videos every day. And every day I escape this loud city of Berlin!! This means my soul is FREE again and I can breathe deeply again. I wish you all stable health and lots of strength in your work.

Greetings to you from BERLIN / Gemany.
In Iowa, we use a ballast car with the wedge plow and put some cinder blocks in it for weight. Extra weight helps keep the plow on the track, rarely derails. We try to plow within a day or two of the snow as the water content tends to sink if there is sunshine following the snow. Ice forms on the rails and in switches if we don't get everything open soon. We also have a Russell for snowfalls above six inches and that works well. Above 12 inches, we often have to get a snowblower out and use that in the drifts. Winter videos at EJK Train Farm on TH-cam show the wedge and Russell in service. th-cam.com/video/ZfHf1KV04co/w-d-xo.html

I remember the blizzard of 78. There were snowmobiles running down our residential street in the city.

It was getting cold near the end. But it is always fun to ride the rails .
