NP Snow Plow #30 - Nothern Pacfici |
| Description: |
The massive Northern Pacific snowplow was built by the Russell Snowplow Company of Ridgway, PA. This particular model looks nearly identical to New York Central's snowplow X-618 built by Russell in March of 1945. I forgot to ask the museum docent some pertinent questions while visiting the unit. The single track plow has snow flanges (or "wings") on either side to help push the snow when they are extended outward.. |

This is the Russell Snow Plow Company builder's plate for NP #30. Not sure whether the lower left hand, "R 1291", is the serial number or a model number. Does anyone know which it might be? |

Here is an interior view from the rear entrance. Note to two pressure tanks and piping used to extend the side wings. The ladder in back leads up to the front cupola. |
