Winter Rails "Day of the Spreader"

The Spreader is deployed when snow depths exceed the Flanger's capabilities to plow snow from the rails. Learn the fascinating history of the Norden snow sheds, check out a cab ride in the spreader, watch the re-railment of spreader and much more!

+ChuckMamuck ...happened to us here at 9500 feet elevation in Colorado in 2003...went for two days...shoveled snow almost every hour...and were throwing it out of an 8 foot deep trench when it finally let up...had almost 4 feet this past weekend...

What kind of locomotives are those at 0:46? Those are some weird pantographs. And which railroad is that?

[@avaintly-x6120]

Not sure what kind of engines they are. But things in top of the cabs are called ice breakers. They use em to break off ice that forms on tunnel ceilings. And it’s the southern pacific railroad. (Maybe Union Pacific) idk if they merged by this time yet.

I believe those are GP38-2s
