My understanding is that other than one makeshift little plow,

There's an article titled "East Broad Top Railroad Snowplow" by Dave Johnson in the Mar/Apr 1979 issue of the Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette, according to Chris Coleman's list of periodical articles about the EBT.

they never needed one, being too far from the coast to catch Nor'easters, and too far from the great lakes to catch lake effect snow.

That's my understanding as well, plus the EBT is at much lower elevation than the D&RGW l-- Mount Union is about 600 ft, Orbisonia about 725 ft and Robertsdale about 1800 ft, according to elevationmap.net
