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