Progress Rail, MOW Division: Snow Fighter 46-6

Progress Rail, MOW Division


The Snow Fighter 46-6 offers a 10-foot-wide “V” plow, which removes sizable snow drifts from the track. The hydraulically controlled snow wings are 35 inches high by 13 feet long and remove snow from the outer rail areas up to 16 feet, 6 inches from the track center. The snow switch cleaner sweeps snow from the switch area into an auger impeller assembly and propels it clear of the track through the operator-controlled discharge chute. It weighs 47,000 pounds.
