The New Brunswick Railway Museum is home to many unique pieces of rolling stock and locomotives that once operated on the now abandoned lines across the province.  One of their more unique pieces in their collection is  CN 55698 a double ended snow plow.  Being double ended allow crews to just run the locomotive around the plow rather than having to wye the whole train.  It saw many years of service in hard East Coast Winters before being retired and ending up on display at the museum.
