Sunday afternoon, January 19, 2014, Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Some snow is flying back there. |
| After the mainline train is out of the way, I see a wheel loader with a powered snow blower. |
|
The track equipment shuttles back and forth plowing snow, passing it from track to track and accumulating it for the snow blower. This snow fighter / ballast regulator is a Missabe unit with their arrowhead symbol. |
| The left blade is forward to pass all the snow to the right. |
|
The entire A-side of the yard is empty of railcars so there's room to plow. There's headlights of Air Forced One and two plows. |
| hauling out by dumptruck |
|
Air Forced One blower. You can learn more at Air Forced One . |

A few days before the Stevens Point work, a snow fighter was in Rapids. They roll through the snow to get close to boxcars, and then start plowing away. |
| Plowing in Rapids. This is probably the same unit seen in Point. |
