In this video:
is that just a normal engine hitting trees and such or would it be a plow? Or do engines have plows on the front?

That's not a locomotive. It's a ballast regulator. We use them in the winter for snow service. The guy in the cab with him would be the assistant machine operator. The AMO lines all the switches. Kind of like a conductor on a freight train.

They also use these in heavy snow areas. They connect to a smaller yard locomotive. A guy rides up top and communicates with the engineer signals, switches are not lined for reverse, broken rails and anything on the track.Quote from: "Shen Li"(//%3C/s%3E%3CURL%20url=%22http://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large-5/cp-rail-plow-guy-whiteley.jpg%22%3E%3CLINK_TEXT%20text=%22http://images.fineartamerica.com/images%20...%20iteley.jpg%22%3Ehttp://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large-5/cp-rail-plow-guy-whiteley.jpg%3C/LINK_TEXT%3E%3C/URL%3E%3Ce%3E)

That is an intimidating looking snow plough.
