My dad worked the railroad after the growing season, and they had something similar because the line passed through open country where the snow drifts were measured in yards. It was indeed a blast for a kid like me to watch that thing, but more fun were all the Flat Rock (Mich.) to Toledo (Ohio, or further south) and back rides in the engine I had
