A car specially equipped to plow snow is shown here in 1941. Now 96 years old, there are still two of these cars in service as of 2003! One is stored in Mattapan and another one at Riverside. These cars are nearly as heavy as modern Light Rail Vehicles so make great snow plows. Note the plow blades mounted on the side of the vehicle in the rear. When extended, this vehicle can plow a path about three times its own width.
