Upon the railroad track transport vehicle (14), a melter (16) is mounted on a melter rotator (16C) functioning to rotate the melter from a rearward (road transport vehicle (12) frontward) direction which is utilized as a propulsion device to a frontward (road transport vehicle (12) rearward) direction which is utilized for melting snow and/or ice. The melter (16) has a melter lift (16E) such that a user can angle the melter (16) to a desired position.
