Comments/Directions:
Snow Plow on display Calumet MI. on Red Jacket Road. It is Russel Snow Plow 133 it was pushed by a locomotive.
"The Russell Snow Plow was simply a large plow attached to the front of a rail car. While a rotary blower would lumber along the tracks at a slow and deliberate pace, the Russell would simply be pushed by a separate engine right through the snow throwing it out of the way. The car consisted of three parts; the forward plow, the elevated control booth, and a rear car. Besides the main forward plow, the Russell was also equipped with a pair of wing plows that could be extended out over the sides of the tracks to clear more room along the right of way."
