Eastern Railroad Discussion > How can a snow plow like this disap--now locatedDate: 01/04/21 15:47 How can a snow plow like this disap--now located Author: PlyWoody This is the German built Beilhack Rotary Snow Plow which can rotate and reverse its self.
I posted a while ago asking if anyone knows of its location I never have seen a photo of it doing its job. Last I heard it was working at Buffalo but was called to do a emergency at Cleveland. https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?2,5157818,5157818#msg-5157818 Maybe a photo of the SB 1000 might help in locating this modern rotary. I don't imagine that CSX makes a winter snow manual. I used to publish an annual large snow manual for the entire engineering department of Conrail. Edited 2 time(s).

Very cool machines and I'm amazed they havent caught on more over in North America vs the rotary snow plows we do have left. I always enjoyed the posts by that guy here who was very passionate about how effective Beilhack blowers are elsewhere around the world and the beat down he got here on TO on the western board was snow is too different in NA for those "toys" lol. Hope he is still around on here. I even recently found a photo of the rare Beilhack unit sold to a Russian railways years back.

Go Date: 01/04/21 19:40 Re: How can a snow plow like this disappear? Author: TCnR Didn't know there were two of them in North America. They seem like well thought out machines, doubt they would do much good on Donner though.
Not my call though. Date: 01/04/21 20:25 Re: How can a snow plow like this disappear? Author: Evan_Werkema Date: 01/04/21 20:35 Re: How can a snow plow like this disappear? Author: Spoony81 NWrailfan Wrote:

When I first started on TO that was one of the many threads I always grabbed my popcorn to read. That poster loved his Beilhack blowers and insisted they would work on Donner despite the many critics saying otherwise Posted from iPhone Date: 01/04/21 20:51 Re: How can a snow plow like this disappear?

Man o man I forgot how lengthy his responses were lol Posted from iPhone Date: 01/04/21 23:03 Re: How can a snow plow like this disappear? Author: TCnR At the time it just seemed like somebody with a passion for strange snow machines and it was an interesting comparison and a time to tell Donner Pass stories. Looking back and having met a few more TrainOrder folks it was no doubt someone from snow country having some fun with people outside of their little clic. No doubt someone with an interest in European operations and from a northern climate, wonder if Leonz had a Wisonson accent, or maybe from Fargo.

Not sure how one finds the actual date of Google image. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/06/21 11:24 by PlyWoody. Date: 01/06/21 14:04 Re: How can a snow plow like this disappear?
