Nice Job Wayne! I haven’t seen a CN plow train in a long time
Nice catch Wayne. How much snow is there? It looks like about 2′ of snow!
Kevin, there’s been at least 6′ fallen so far this winter. Most of that got beat down into really condensed stuff with a crust on it after warmer temps, some sunlight and a couple freezing rain storms. The about 18″ of fresh stuff fell on top of that the other day, just enough that I can walk through the fields or woods with my 18″ arctic snow boots without getting too much inside them – unless I break through that crust under it in which case it’s over my knees by a couple of inches. There doesn’t appear that much here because the spreader was following a couple of hours behind a ballast regulator with a broom which did the brunt of the plowing and cleaned out crossing flangeways on its way up from Falkenburg.
Great spreader action shots Wayne!
CN 50948 (Work Equipment CN 815-26) is a Jordan Type J 4-100 spreader, serial number 1432, built in 1973.
It is equipped with a front cab, medium front blade (upper snow curls removed), broken (articulated) side wings, high rear platform, and diesel powered hydraulic controlled cylinders.
This machine was rebuilt in late 2025/early 2026 and was back in service in February 2026.
