MoW Monday - CN High-speed Jordan Spreader at Jasper
Author: feclark

Here's the last of my shots (I think) of CN snow-fighting equipment, spread over several Mondays. This is CN 50942, shot at Jasper, AB on August 13, 2001. It's allowed 60 mph in transit, and you'll note the high front-end plow. According to the TSG, it's s/n 1448, blt. 1975, model 4-100. I'm curious what about its construction suits it to 60 mph speeds, rather than the 25 mph limit of last week's posted units.

Probably the way that the blades and such can be secured so that they can move at the faster speed. The main concern was that the plow or one of the blades working itself out of the up and locked position and doing some unplanned rearranging the right of way.

Another great Work Equipment shot Fred. Thanks for posting.
The TSG info is correct. :-)
CN 50942, Class Code 3IA, is a Jordan Type J 4-100 spreader, serial number 1448, built in 1975.
It is equipped with a high front blade (snow curls installed), broken (articulated) side wings, front cab, raised rear platform, and diesel powered hydraulic controlled cylinders.
