RUNNING SAFETY OF RUSSEL SNOWPLOW FOR DOUBLE TRACK (REPORT 2)

The Russel snowplow used for clearance of double track in JNR has a single edged front to push the snow toward one side; consequently, wheel lateral thrust on rail may become considerably high under some conditions. Actually derailment has been of frequent occurrence during operation. In order to secure efficient operation of the snowplow without loss of running safely, a study has been made of the relation between wheel reaction and plowing conditions.
