'''Snowploughs''' (US: '''Snowplows''') are devices used by the engines to clear snow from the tracks as they pull their trains during winter. They are usually fastened onto the engine's front buffers, and push the snow aside when the engines run through it. Most snowploughs are painted in the colour corresponding to their engine's livery.

“You'll need your snowplough for the next journey, Thomas.”
― Thomas' driver, Thomas, Terence and the Snow

Snowploughs (US: Snowplows) are devices used by the engines to clear snow from the tracks as they pull their trains during winter. They are usually fastened onto the engine's front buffers and push the snow aside when the engines run through it. Most snowploughs are painted in the colour corresponding to their engine's livery.

Some engines are known to hate their snowploughs as they tend to be uncomfortable, such as the case with Thomas.
