NP Rotary Snow Plow #2 - Northern Pacific
Title:  NP Rotary Snow Plow #2 - Northern Pacific
Description:  With its blades painted red and its housing in black, the Northern Pacific steam powered rotary snow plow is an arresting sight at the Lake Superior RR Museum. Built in 1887 by the Cooke Locomotive Works, it cleared the snow clogged tracks up and down the NP mainline. This may be the oldest steam-driven rotary snow plow in the US. The museum purchased it from a railroad historical society in 1975.

NP Wedge Show Plow #19 - Northern Pacific
Title:  NP Wedge Show Plow #19 - Northern Pacific
Description:  Another Northern Pacific snow plow shares the stage with NP plow #2. This one is a Russell wedge snow plow built in 1907 by the Russell Snow Plow Company. Several locomotives working together would push the wedge plow into the mounds of snow. Speeds of nearly 50 mph were often used to burst through the clogged tracks. It was retired in the 1960's and donated to the Lake Superior RR Museum.

NP Snow Plow #30 - Nothern Pacfici
Title:  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..
