Roco 71003 H0 Beilhack snow plow of Austrian Federal Railways
In 2019, a new high-performance snow screw drive was put into operation by Austrian Federal Railways Infrastructure AG. Two 793 kW (approx. 1,100 hp) strong TWELVE-cylinder engines are used in the machine, which is used to clean up intersected railway tracks. One unit drives the vehicle, the other is used to operate the sluice. The snowplow produces up to 10,000 tons of snow per hour at a throw distance of 40 meters. It is approved for overtravel at speeds of up to 100 km/h. A crane that can be rotated by 180° enables the turning on the spot. Thus even the most difficult alpine weather conditions can be mastered.This text is machine translated.
