Brilliant ,well worth a watch . I know we had snow today , but it's not quite like our ''Daisy diesel'' darting from Gillingham to Salisbury UK . Think 'our Ian, Speedbird 561 would have liked this .

Quite a great video. Noticed that Chris Hatfield (aka "Major Tom") linked it as well. The guy's got balls. He's in a legal spot, but I wouldn't have had the guts to stay with the camera that close (I'd have put it on a tripod and gotten well clear) because I've seen what happens with the real plows when they jump on a crossing that's been plowed like that and it ain't pretty -

BTW, that wreck buried the plow so deep that it wasn't dug out for several years. When they pulled it out, it was only to scrap it because the frame was bent so badly by the accident. Thankfully the crew only had a few bumps and none of the engines (2 of which were on loan from us at the DGNO) were damaged very badly and were back pushing their other plow 2 days later.
More pics of the wreck -
