The plow is well out over the end of track and the ballast slopes downwards over emphasising the effect in the Ron Nixon #460 view.
As for being "semi-self propelled" well it is mounted on the Locomotive which would make it "self propelled", photo's show the Plow locomotive cut off and plowing ahead of the Road loco on the Silverton Branch.
Of course the #09271 at Gunnison should get a mention.
