Interesting to see it plowing something other than snow. Love those flared radiators on the ECO also!
You have to love the sound of a Detroit Diesel screaming at full RPM providing the hydraulic power for the Jordan Spreader.
I worked for Pandrol Jackson in 1999,which was bought out by Harsco Corp in 2000. The shop in Syracuse N.Y . was building a Plow /Ballast Spreader for the Alaskan Rail Road . The shop was using prints from one of the original plows they had built in the 40s . From what I remember I was told Pandrol Jackson use to be Jackson -Jordon at one time . I believe the Plow was one of the last projects that was done at the Syracuse shop , before they closed .
Dude I bought my house from is a retired rail worker, and down in the workshop he left behind a chunk of rail anvil and his old beefy s-shaped open end wrench. I cleaned it up with a brass wire wheel, and now it's displayed proudly on my "man cave" wall. It's a display piece... my tinkering would be an insult to such a seasoned piece of rail maintenance history.
I'm absolutely amazed by this. I had to hit pause so I could grab a drink and some pretzels so I could sit back and watch this. I'm a bulldozer operator so I wanted to see if I could pick up some more tips
