CP snowplow #9

From: "Kyle Wyatt" kylekwyatt@gmail.com

I tripped across this drawing of Central Pacific snowplow #9 on line, from a French book from 1907 [on the subject of railroad engineering, Exploitation Technique des Chemins de Fer by Louis Galine, Paris, Vve C. Dunod] – matched the drawing to an original CP drawing in the CSRM collection. I added the feet and inches conversions of the French metric.

The book link is here, drawing on page 666 (680 in the PDF).

This is a good source for old books on railroading:
