The thing out front is called a spreader, and it's being pushed by a locomotive (obviously). We have to use these in Saskatchewan because we get so much snow. Our have one big wings on each side and a nose plow in the front and we put 3 guys inside to operate it. Pretty awesome stuff!

My father experienced this first hand. He was waiting at a red light train crossing in winter last year near Pembroke Ontario. He was well behind the wide stop line and was attempted to take a picture of the train crossing infront of him for his niece. Just as he clicked the picture on his cellphone the train exploded through a snowbank and pelted the truck and trailer with hundreds of chunks of ice and snow. Scariest thing hes ever experienced in 29 years of driving.

The two locomotives in this case are GM-EMD SD40-2s, each weighing in at roughly 853,600kg apiece (388,000lbs.). The plow is mounted on the front unit, and both are diesel-electric units. You'll be very hard pressed to find any electrified rail in the midwest, if at all.

Andrew Cassato The so-called "Polar Vortex" has always existed, technically. It's a persistent low-pressure cyclone that exists in both the north and south poles. Although warmer global temperatures are associated with increased amplitude (meandering) of the polar vortex jet stream, causing abnormally low temperatures in the south yet even warmer temperatures towards the poles.

I recall being disturbed 20 years ago by the first mass media article I read about global climate change caused by warming. It said many places on Earth would see a warmer, wetter climate, but other places would get drier and colder or wetter and colder. That worried me because I live in a highly productive agricultural area where crops that feed millions are adjusted to cold/dry winters, warm/wet springs and hot/dry summers. Losing a few inches of annual rainfall or a few degrees average temperature would take millions of acres out of production.
