[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by CSSHEGEWISCH</i> <br /><br />I remember reading in an article in TRAINS some years back that SP would avoid calling out the rotaries as much as possible since they are more expensive to operate and they make too narrow a cut in the snow to reduce drifting problems; e.g., when the wind is blowing, the cut fills quickly and the rotaries have to get called out more often. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />There are many more that are much more knowledgeable than I on this subject. I'm only a casual observer, but as I understand it for more than 40 years, its been flangers first, Jordan spreaders next, then the cats are added to the picture and finally the rotary set is sent in, which is used in conjunction with a spreader set. <br /> <br />SP9033
