Clearing the line in the '30s

This is about the Bernina line — prior to it being integrated with the RhB.

Why were they using the flanger to pull the ice and snow back over the track?

They needed to use the rotary to throw it as far as possible from the RoW.

Thanks HJ, That did come to mind, they are setting it up for another pass with the rotary.
Interesting video. I want to make a plough for my Brawa RhB G4/5. There are pictures of the locomotive with a large one. It looks impressive.
We don’t have much snow here in Australia and where it mainly falls there are no railways.

Andrew…We’re kind like you in a way we don’t see snow here. Wonder if that come in any other color than white? Looks like it might be cold to.
HJ… Neat movie, but they sure are bundled up there… and white stuff look deep. Lol

Noel, I don’t really like the cold that much. I start to sieze up!
I noticed Slovenia has had recent ice storms stopping their railways for a few months. Brrrrr!.
