Fairmont also sold a variation of their weed burner as a snow melter, ie to clear flangeways of ice and snow.

Thanks for the info Doug & Sam, those are very similar to the weed burner that was stationed at Teague, TX that I mentioned.  I’m guessing the one I recall was a later version as it was much bigger but it incorporated elements of the three main types the catalog and posted photos depict.  Plus, who knows how the unit was further modified for the carriers specific use.  The flame pipes in front of the car were very similar to the M&StL color photo except the flames were more contained within the pipes by shrouding.  I don’t know how long the unit remained in service but it was still on the property in 1978.

Tim, Fairmont did have a weed burner, in fact several different models. Attached is a color photo of one in use on the M&StL. Also a series of photos from the Fairmont Archives that shows another model.

 

The M&StL also converted one of their GE gas-electrics to a weed sprayer, GE-25. It had the sprayer wands attached at the rear of the unit with hoses coming from inside, and often towed a tankcar. Photo attached.
