The Spreader Snow Plow, New MEGA Machines of the Sierra Part II

The New MEGA Machines of the Sierra, built to handle the mountain as the new "backbone" of snow clearing operations for the railroad. 1.4 million was spent on each machine to get it ready for plowing the Sierra Snow and keeping Mother Nature at bay in Winter months, but did they actually plow snow? Did everything go off without a hitch on the first run?
Witness the exclusive footage of SPMW 4031 in action as it makes the very first run on the rail plowing during a week of blizzard like conditions in what was termed "The Storm of the Decade." Heavy Winter snows dumping nearly 4 feet a day for a week putting the MEGA Machines to the extreme test. Bring it on!
BA Productions brings you Part II in a series of snow fighting action on Donner Pass in Winter of 2009/10 and 2010/11. Two more Spreader Snow Plows were overhauled in the Summer of 2010, the Truckee Spreaders numbers SPMW 4030 & 4034. Going into Winter of 2010, the Union Pacific had a total of 4 newly renovated Spreaders to battle harsh Winter Snow.
On March 24th, 2011, an event trigged the official call out of the "Heroes" to come save the day. It was a day that had not been seen for nearly 13 years on Donner Pass. Only a day like this would bring out senior managers and skilled and experienced personnel. The Rotary Snow Plow, fired up and deployed to clear the mountain pass and battle Mother Nature's wrath of heavies snows not seen in nearly 30 years! New MEGA Machines Part II will take you from the first run of the newly built spreaders through all of Winter 2010 and 2011, telling the story, delivering all the snow plowing action you can possibly handle, up to D Day. March 24th, 2011 the day that re-defined and changed the way the railroad clears snow over the pass. "Rotaries Through the Avalanche" part 3 in the snow series of DVDs that will blow you away. (Rotaries Through the Avalanche to be available in Fall of 2011) We will preview all three in the series for Winterail in Stockton in March of 2012.
