I'm always amazed at the variety of MOW equipment used on railroads. Thanks for sharing this video. :encouragement:

My father would have been interested in that rig. He was MOW help during the Depression on the CMStP&P - Chicago, Milwaukee, St Paul & Pacific - otherwise known as "The Milwaukee Road."
During my own days w/Chessie System I can recall a J-33 or J-47 jet engine installed on a flatcar, and set in ground idle, that was used in winter to melt ice and snow binding up switch points around the Michigan Division.
I'm fascinated with just about anything that is mechanical. That's an incredibly wide right of way that they ballasted, I presume the width is necessitated by the need for snow plowing in the winter. Railroads around here (central Virginia) do not ballast to such widths.
