One of my old jobs working as a track maintainer on the railroad was rebuilding crossings. Prior to lying down new crossing planks, you had to go through with a leaf blower and blow the whole fucking thing clean so the planks would lay flat over the ties and make for a nice level track crossing. Noisy, dusty, and heavy on the back after an extended period. Just a shitty irritating machine. Used them to blow snow out of switches too. Many bad memories standing out in the freezing fucking cold snowblowing switches in the train yard.
