Re: Flanger & Jordan Spreader snow plowing photo freight!

I've shoved a Jordan Spreader with a GE U30C cleaning ditches. We used a U30C because it was equipped with tight lock couplers so the engine could "hang on" to the rear of the Jordan. The wings have enough leverage to really kick the rear truck around. Snow which has been there all Winter is ice. What you wouldn't want is to rerail one in the snow in the middle of a drift. Big fun for photographers, not so much for the crews.
