My dad, who was chief inspector, took me on the West Highland Railway snow plough on an adventure from Glasgow to Fort William. I was in the leading engine, one of those big monsters that could push through almost anything. There were two of them, with a snow plough equally massive up front. They called it double headed, having two engines working together and I remember the blizzard that hit us coming out of Helensburgh as we made our way towards the highlands and some of the best snow I&rsquo;ve ever seen.</p> <p><a href="http://www.derbysulzers.com/snow31117york.jpg"><img src="http://www.derbysulzers.com/snow31117york.jpg" alt="" width="90%" /></p>
