CSX Jet Engine Snow Blower @ Croton West Yard (Hudson Line)

CSX Croton West Yard in Croton-on-Hudson, NY took a huge beating from winter storm "Pax". Several switches in the yard became frozen and completely covered in snow halting local freight operations. A jet engine powered snow blower (SB #9910) was trucked all the way from CSX Selkirk Yard to clear out the switches and track that were covered in snow. They ended up blowing snow for almost 2 hours so I ended up only staying for about 30 mins because standing and trekking through over a foot of untouched snow makes your feet cold. Enjoy!

There's no kill like overkill

Stick a plow blade with a hole for the exhaust on the end of the jet exhaust tube and blow a lots more snow and ice. Watch video of Air Jet Plow with small blowers. Imagine what the jet exhaust would do. Watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3LSiaWIfsmfmJo
