singletrack wedge snowplows were used already in the forties of the last century but still don't go out of operation due to their functionality and reliability they're used if the depth of the snow cover doesn't exceed naught point six meters when cleaning snow is thrown away on both sides of the Train creating massive snow drifts along the sides of the railway track snowplows are used in all countries of the world where the climate implies the sufficient amounts of cold precipitation the elimination of snow embankments guarantees the subsequent safety of travel to passenger and suburban trains irrespective of weather conditions this small car equipped with a rotary snow throwing device was seen in the Swiss Alps near Pont racino despite the fact that most modern trains are highly technological and use more new ways of consuming energy this device is still moving with the help of a steam engine as well as trains of the last century according to the operator this is due to the fact the car first worked without a bunch with an electric train and moved independently perhaps the reason was an abnormally large amount of precipitation or employment of all the rest of the equipment transferred to other parts of the road unlike the previous trend this one gets rid of snow with the help of a large metal wedge located under the driver's cab due to the special structure of the massive element it not only raises the snow from the railway track but also throws it to the sides thereby completely cleaning the rails the location of the windows in the cabin allows you to monitor all stages of the process fully controlling it and providing maximum safety this is an important factor because in Japan where this video is shot it isn't unusual for wild animals to step onto snow-covered railway tracks the uniqueness of this snowplow is that it doesn't use speed as an assistant when working on the contrary the train moves very slowly and cleans the snow gradually collecting it from the tracks with the help of special brushes after that the snow gets inside the machining where it goes off on a special conveyor belt it's ground and only after that it's removed through the holes on the side of the train this technology makes it possible to improve the quality of path cleaning in several times but differs from others in large time costs in Japan due to the cold and snowy winter of 2014 to 15 part of the Niigata Prefecture alrea way line was completely covered with snow to prevent possible accidents and damage the trains were stopped and on the line came a massive cleaning machine with a high performance or good device in the video you can see how the snow cover is raked up inside the machine with two plows on the sides and then Rises with an auger all the snow collected by the cleaner is sprayed to the sides by means of a special dispenser with a movable upper part thanks to this technology it's possible to avoid large blockages on the edges of the railway track when there's a lot of snow which causes problems in the operation of trains many people prefer to use personal cars which leads to even greater problems including traffic jams and emergencies in order not to reduce the volume of the passenger traffic and also to avoid any possible changes in the train schedule they often use cleaners like this in Japan its main distinguishing feature is its unique design with two cabins because of this the machine can move along paths in both directions while equally successfully performing its work the technology of snow removal from this cleaner is similar to that previous device from our list uses plows and orchid device however to manage this cleaner a person doesn't need a special driver's license the maximum speed of this track snow plow doesn't exceed 16 km/h but this doesn't reduce its productivity in addition to the usual metal wedge located in front of the driver's cap the device is also equipped with two massive wings which can either be folded or straightened depending on the width of the road in the unfolded state these details increase the area cleaned of snow approximately in three times capturing not only the paths themselves but also the space on each side of them the absence of snowdrifts is necessary when the Train needs to make an emergency stop for example in case of an unexpected break down for repair work despite the fact that this device is not a railway device and it's able to move independently without the help of rails it should still be mentioned in our list the Auguste snowplow is capable of throwing snow to a height of about 10 meters spraying it to the required consistency to avoid the appearance of large snowdrifts at the same time is working speed is 60 kilometers per hour in other words the machine can process snow directly in the course of travel the weight of the device is equal to 37 tonnes and in order to achieve this speed a 650 horsepower engine is installed but today the car is made only in Norway but it's freely delivered to other countries
