Why are there not cars on those locomotives with the big snow plow on them? Also how in the world can they see where they are going?

I don't think they can, but if you listen to the audio, it sounds like someone is telling the train personnel (engineer?) whats going on.

The Jan/Feb 2007 edition of "The Wireless Journal" has an article titled "Driving Safely With Zero Visibility".

Somewhere I have an article about the radar used on locomotives (10.525 gHz). I'll try to find it and post it. Google might come up with the same article.
