Snow plow 10 at 72nd St
10 was built by Wason in 1915, and is a shear plow, which pushes snow only to the right side of the track. It is believed to be the last operating snowplow on any US light rail system.
It was acquired from SEPTA by the Rockhill Trolley Museum in 1988 and is in operating condition. The plow spent its entire working life on the PandW under three owners -- PandW, PSTC Red Arrow Lines and SEPTA.
