Maryland State Highway planning snow plow trains for interstates

This winter, drivers on Washington County's interstates could see plow trains during snowstorms. In attempt to make the most of Maryland State Highway Administration's resources, including drivers and equipment, plow trains will be instituted on local interstates, said Linda Puffenbarger, state highway's engineer for District 6. That district includes Washington County. A plow train is a formation of snow plows, typically seen driving in a diagonally staggered formation with one truck per lane. The message to motorists who see a plow train on the interstate this winter? "Don't crowd the plow," Shelley Miller, community relations manager for District 6, said Wednesday, Oct. 14, as state highway officials talked about preparing for winter. Drivers shouldn't get right behind the trucks or try to pass snow plows, Miller said. Plow drivers have a lot to pay attention to, including in their cabs, as they operate various aspects of the plows, state highway officials said. Emily Martz, a facility maintenance technician 3, explained some of the features in the snow plow she drives, which has a plow that is about 10 feet wide. Along the dashboard are buttons or switches to operate the truck's strobe lights and plow lamps since the plow blocks
