[edit] Power sources

Is it true that the Milwaukee Road had one or more snowplows that were powered by catenary? SpaceCaptain 21:53, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

No, I don't think so. They had a couple F7B units (X1 and X2) for rotary power and some wedge plows (like one that is currently on static display in Harlowton), but I don't recall seeing anything about rotaries powered off the wire. Slambo (Speak) 14:20, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
