In preparing some material for a slideshow, I came across the fact that the inventor of the rotary snowplow was a man by the name of Orange Jull.
I really want to think that his name is more than casually related to that wonderful crushed ice beverage, the Orange Julius.
Unfortunately, Google doesn’t seem to support my conclusion, and instead the drink was supposedly named based on how it was ordered, and has nothing to do with rotary snowplows. I guess railroading isn’t quite as prevalent as this railfan had hoped.
