Snowblower Train

"These photos were taken on the Bellwood Subdivision, between Seward and David City, Nebraska on the BNSF RR. Seward is about 25 miles west of Lincoln, on the Ravenna Sub. A few blizzards and sub zero temperatures coupled with moderate winds made for a beautiful, but, flash frozen environment. A freight train was snowed in at David City and a rotary snow plow was sent to clear the track of drifts that varied from 6ft or less up to 12ft in spots!! The photos were taken on Jan. 8th through Jan. 10th.

they seriously need to turn the snowblower train into a cheesey b-rate horror movie with it slicing up bodies...

that would be genius

I sw the 2nd vid and thought that was more like it... but guess it was jut a plow, but it was way cooler watching snow flying all over.

That neighborhood sure has a shetload more snow than we have around here, ...

Looks like it headed to Aurora, NE after that.

These are pretty cool to watch.

yeah i agree their neat to watch. im suprrised at the speed they can actually blow the snow at. i looked at the pics in the original post and thought that it would be slow as hell, but i was quite surpised to see it moves at a pretty good click
