RRVW Snow Cutter #113 - Red River Valley & Western RR |
| Description: |
Interesting pair of snow fighting equipment was captured by Eric Berg sitting in the Breckenridge yard. The yellow unit is a Jordan spreader while the red unit is a snow plow, more specifically a Bros snow cutter. According to the RRPA databse, it is listed as nee-GN X1500 and ex-BN 972560. However it should be listed as BN 972556 instead. This is actually a show cutter/blower rather than a snow plow that would chew through mounds of snow and push them to the sides with the extended "Jordan" type spreader wings seen here in yellow. |

The "fireman's side" of the RRVW snow cutter. Two spotters would have been in the front section to relay info to the pusher loco. Eeric Berg photo. |

The working front end does appear intimidating. Sure would like to see this unit in action. Bet it would be a noisy one with the chain driven cutting paddles clanking loudly when up to speed! Eric Berg photo. |

Eric Berg visited Breckenridge yard about 5 months after the first group of pics in the album. Here is the same RRVW snow cutter (with the Jordan spreader behind) as in March. Don't think it saw much action during the winter. |

| Description: |
Traditionally, railroad snow plows, blowers and cutters rarely saw much action but were absolutely needed when conditions went from bad to "impossible"( . . . or should that be "impassible"?). Eric Berg photo. |

Another side view of the Red River Valley & Western snow cutter #113 (ex-BN 972556, nee-GN X1500). From GoogleMaps images, I don't think the RRVW snow cutter is still around. Does anyone know its disposition? Eric Berg photo |
