You’ll want the four-wheel lead truck for plow work, even if it does take some weight off the drivers: the substantial buff force plus hunting with high steam mass flow… and flange-lifting due to ice and packed snow… being things that ancient designs of Bissel won’t do at all well.
And few railroads will be buying brand-new 1904 locomotives to push it, no matter how new and amazing the Ideal Plow itself might be… depends on how badly your railroad values reliable snow removal.
