WP&YR Rotary Snowblower

Post by YukonRob »

The White Pass and Yukon Route got out the old rotary blower last weekend. I knew about it but was unable to watch:( The photo was taken about an hour from my house.
Cheers,
Rob

Impressive stuff but I'm still in favour of this MiG example.

Yeah that is impressive. The little cottagey type windows and doors are a bit odd though.

That thing must throw ballast everywhere if it does get through the snow.
