A collector's item whose Railroad's fan can't miss. This is the way I would describe this video. It is impossible to get all Railroad videos on the market, but not to have this one would be a big hole in your collection. We all have seen a train passing, but now are transported in scenes which the majority of us never saw and will never see: Snow Plowing action. The drama of these historic CP and CN lines moment have been captured. When I was young person, in the Seventies two high hood rs-18 and a wedge snow plow of the CP Rail passed behind our house and I never saw this kind of scene since. This video pointed out these fascinating moments to me. The narration is also very instructive and the live derailment of a snow plow in 1971 is an asset. If something could have been added? A look inside the snow plow would have been great. I have sometimes been disappointed with some train video but certainly not with this one.

Agree with all the other reviewers. This DVD is worth the price if for no other reason than the accident shown at the end. The plow, being pushed from behind, was making a third run at a snow blockage when it went end over end. How often do you see that? The event is also described by one who was driving the plow when it happened. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt.

Living in the southeastern United States seeing snow plows is an impossibility. For that matter, seeing snow in any measurable quantity is a rarity. Snow plows themselves are fairly rare on today's railroads as flangers and spreaders have primarily become the normal snow moving equipment of choice. Having said that I totally enjoyed this dvd as it's now one of my favorites! Seeing the action of snow being flung from the snow plows is an amazing site. I love the bucolic winter countryside of Ontario. The disc offers a variety of shots to keep one entertained, well done!

It does not matter who you are, how old you are or what your specific interests in railroading are- you will enjoy this DVD. The program showcases an element of railroading that makes this hobby, and the railroad industry, fun and interesting.

If trains plowing through snow at good clips of speed is not enough, the CN locomotives seen only add value to the DVD. The price may seem steep for such a short program, but believe me, after watching Plow Extras, I would have paid list...

Maybe I haven't seen that many snowplow videos, but this one is unreal! Scenes of these wedge plows barreling through snow banks at high speed was downright thrilling. Even my girlfriend sat down to watch with me, and she has little tolerance for these train videos. The derailment in the end caught on film is not to be missed.

This is a high quality (not burned) DVD.

Midwestern Ontario (Southern Ontario) is known for corn, soyabeans, and cattle. And snow, lots of snow. Located in the lea of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, this region is "Canada's snowbelt". Winter time work is a challenge even on a good day, and railroading was just that.
Greg Scholl has done a fine job capturing some of the final days of snow plows on lines that would never again see a snow plow. There are times during the movie that you may question the reason on running a plow as the region is fairly open and wind blown, but then the plow hits a major drift and the snow really flies. Due to the road conditions, it is difficult to follow the plows through out the region. It is an area where road closures are normal as much because of blowing as because of snow falling. An excellent job done. And yes, one plow really does fly. Listen to the plow foreman who was in the plow the day it took wings. Thanks to a 'home video', we can see it as he tells the story.
Today, the only line remaining is the Goderich Exeter. Snow plows are no longer common even with the snow belt. Greg Scholl has captured a piece of history for all of us to enjoy. Thanks Greg.
To the video collectors: This is one you'll treasure for many years. Enjoy.

While the program itself contains the original 1988 editing, this was a long time ago today about 45 years ago, when we have vintage silent films of the snow plow accident.
