RAILROADS NO LONGER
ARE BLOCKED BY- SNOW
Flangers and Snowplows Can Remove
Heaviest Snow in Several Hours.
St. Paul, Pec. 8. The day of block
ed railroad lines In winter due to huge
snow drifts is gone. Where pen.ods or
weeks of sta'iled trains in the North
west was experienced in the late
eighties' and early In the present cen
tury, snow plows have reduced5 inc
stoppage to a matters of hours, North
west railroad official agree.
Flangera and snowplows weugo
and ratary are the most common
equipment used Lo keep the raiUi
clear On all the various systems, al
though in the deep cuts and mountain
territory in the Dakotas and Montana,
snow gangs of half a dozen men or
more are necessary to fight the tnged
precipitation.
The Northern Pacific railway tpuip
alS: locomot.yes with fl'angers, uttnened
near the wheels, which forcei the
snow from the rails to the wayside,
the' road superintendent states. At all
terminals wedge plows are stationed,
awaitiug calls from any section In
the mountain districts, the rotary
plow is used, which furrows hrough
the snow, .whirling it from the traciis.
Similar methods are used by the
Minneapolis & " St. Louis, the Great
Northern and the Minneapolis, St.
Paul and Sau'lt Ste. Marie systems.
The former road has most of its trou
ble n its 250 miles of rallrold In
South Dakota, says W. H.' Bremner,
president of the M ft 8t. L., but 'wedge
plows are the fighting 'actorB.
Snow gangs ni-e empoyed In many
eases hy the Great Northern In deep
cuts where the wind piles up drifts
too high for the .plows to penetrate.
This road does not wait for calls to

ing a snowstorm. " '
Railroad' men declare that the de
ry. occasioned by snow stoma on
main lines has become negligible, ex
cept In- severe weather and terrific
storms, but admit more work is neces
sary en the .branch lines because of
the Inaccessibility of the itowsrSome
railway officials are Inclined to be
lieve that the winters in the north

years, 'While other declared the use of
more modern equipment has made it
