Check Livernois Yard in SW Detroit. It probably had a snow plow a decade ago, when it was still Conrail before the sale. They must have a snow blower now, as I can hear a turbine running for hours after snow storms...

Re: Conrail snow plows and scale test cars
I believe Conrail 80012 to be Ex PRR 490389 Built in December 1917 with roller bearing trucks. I could not find any photos?
no matter the weather or the country I'll still be trackside!

Re: Conrail snow plows and scale test cars
Its not 80012, but I photographed two "sister cars" 80014 and 80051, 25 years ago:

Otto,
can you post your photo of 80012?
im curious if it looks the same as "my" cars..
probably all the same PRR pattern?
(80051 is a *slightly* different, newer version..photo shows "BLT 8-1934")
thanks,
Scot

Re: Conrail snow plows and scale test cars
This scale test car came down to Port Reading Junction on the OI16 on 12/30. I didn't have time to stick around - so I don't know if it stayed at Port Reading yard or if it went down to Browns.

Re: Conrail snow plows and scale test cars
NH-S-18 was the regular snow plow in Waterbury, Connecticut back in 1956, 1957 and 1958. It is nice to know that it is still around and available.chris carangi wrote:Otto, here are the heritages of the snow plows you are looking for. These are coming from my 1986 Conrail MOW roster that I have.

Re: Conrail snow plows and scale test cars
On the CR MOW Roster, are the Jordan Spreaders listed as well?
I am looking for builder numbers and heritage of two different units.
CR 64627 Built 1946 - was at Olean and then Buffalo
CR 64605.
I also wonder if CR had rebuilt either of them.
Thanks, Pat

Re: Conrail snow plows and scale test cars
Seen CR 80014 in Lock Haven yard (NS) two times in a week. What was it before CR?
