What I remember was nothing like this and my thinking it was in the 1950's or
1960's at the latest. This contraption looks like it would set fires everywhere
it went and burn the paint off a lot of snowplows, and a few ties as well.
I think they are looking for details on this thing.

Jeff,
Would the museum be referring to the Alco/MLW switchers that CN equipped with
snow blowers? I do0 not know what powered the snow blower. IF that is what they
are referring to I do not think they are are service anymore.

Here’s one from a museum …
Would anyone have some information on the jet powered snow plows? Like, when
did they went into service and are they still in service. Any technical info
details?
Thanks,
