Unbelievable power drain.

Yup, modern tracks don't offer much in the way of surface contact. If the ties were wider on top and they had the engines fitted with wheels that let them use the extra surface that snow wouldn't have been any difficulty.

Why don't they just use 4 wheel drive. I'm confused.

Bill, this calls for serious thought. Let's not be hating on trains.

We have a train plow here in canada that resembles the machine that they used to carve the tunnel from england to france. Its a giant snow thrower. It is absolutely insane to see in action. It throws snow at an unbelivable rate, and really really far.

However, they only bring it out like twice a decade.

Alak if you find any images or web pages about it, please share. I love strange and lumbering machines like this.

It's great how you can hear the jet turbine wind down. All that power and no way to put in on the tracks.

Can't they just back the thing up using one of the read locomotives?
