This video is 3 minutes long, but everything after 1 minute is a waste of your time.

Hi Merlin.

I'm not sure how high off the tracks the plow is.  Would guess that it is VERY low.  Railroad engines and cars require almost no clearance.

As a boy we saw this sort of thing all the time. There is 0 clearance. This one doesn't have a plough. I remember seeing the train with a 10 foot or higher plough that was V shaped. Boy did that move snow.
