Fate of the snowplows will depend upon acceptance by the crews since we are primarily a "switching" railroad ooperation. If the plows interfere with making joints and cutting in the air they will be removed and replaced by "pilot scraper plates" as we call them.
After a couple of months of use the decision will be obvious and safety will dictate their fate along with modifications to the steps/stairwells.
