Trainscapes: Spreader Snowplows Fighting Snow | UP Cascade Sub

Welcome to the Trainscapes segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Trainscapes will feature train content including videos of trains and behind the scenes action of trains and locomotives. Some people have an interest in seeing trains, and we here at Geek Alabama aim to please the train lovers!

YouTube channel Railfan Dan covered the Union Pacific Cascade Sub in Oregon with a drone.  The footage features spreader snowplows pushing the snow off of and near the railroad tracks.

For some years now they have kept a pair of Spreaders in Oakridge for fighting the deep snow. This increases efficiency because they can use one plow to clear a siding track and then the second plow can follow behind and clear the main track. This was the case for a few sidings they had to plow between Cruzatte and Crescent Lake OR.
