Train Snow Plowing Action -Ice, Drift Busting, Drone views and more!-

In order to keep the tracks clear for trains, railroads across the state of Minnesota have been putting these large, mesmerizing, and impressive plows to good use. We'll chase one of these steel titans on the BNSF Railway from the Twin Ports to Grand Rapids, MN in this video.

Starting off in Brookston, we'll see a former Great Northern plow working its way along the tracks. Power for this movement was a pair of classic EMD geeps. With its wings out, it kicked up snow, cleared a wide swath, and demolished drifts in its path. It was quite a sight at grade crossings where snow, ice, and other debris were sent into the sky due to the force and power. Along the way way, the drone offers some unique views of the action! In one of the last shots, I even got buried in all of the slush kicked up!
