Synopsis
Fascinating history of the efforts of North American railroads to fight snow and avalanches. Covers not only the development of plows but also snow sheds. Starting with the notes and photos of David Joslyn, the author undertook independent research that discusses the operation, drawbacks and advantages of the Bucker, Rotary and Jull snowplows. With schematic diagrams, builder designs, and technical data as well as rosters and maps. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos and vintage drawings. 119 pages with index.
