In 2019, the ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG put a new high-performance snow blower in service. Even two 793 kW (approx. 1,100 hp) MAN twelve-cylinder motors are installed in the locomotive, which is used to clear snow-covered railway tracks. One motor powers the vehicle, and the other operates the blower. The snow blower can handle up to 10.000 tonnes of snow per hour with a throwing range of 40 metres. It is allowed to run at speeds up to 100 km/h during transfer travels. A rim that can be rotated by 180° lets it turn on the spot. So railway companies can cope with even the most demanding alpine weather conditions.

Note: The model can only be used to a limited extent in analogue mode, so we recommend digital operation. In analogue mode, the snow blower starts to move, the headlights and the driving sound are activated and the blade wheels also turn.
