Framed Print of Snow-Plough on the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, 1870. Creator: Unknown
Snow-Plough on the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, 1870. There is nothing in the ordinary phenomena of the seasons that is so apt to interrupt the traffic of railways as the accumulation of snow...The Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, with its magnificent extent of 900 miles, comprising the branches, through a country which never fails to exhibit the effects of winter in full force, has of course had to contend with this enemy to locomotion. Its engineers have invented for that purpose a very powerful kind of snow-plough, the form and use of which are shown in the Illustrations we have engraved, from photographs by Mr. A. Henderson, of Montreal. The shape of the mighty shield, carried in front of the engine, with its hollowed face, and with its cutting edge at each side, is well adapted to make its way through the deepest and densest snowdrifts. It is such an implement as the Canadian climate demands'. From Illustrated London News, 1870. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
