A single-track Russell snow plow built ... in January 1937, 64513 is one of the oldest Russell plows Conrail owned since most were built after World War II during the late 1940's. Given its number, its most likely an ex-Pennsylvania Railroad plow. Single-track plows are split down the middle and are designed to push the snow to both sides of the track. Double-track plows are designed to throw the snow to the right-hand side of the track only.
