Snowplow is an Attack/Defense map which was intended to be released alongside the End of the Line Update, but ultimately wasn't included, as Valve deemed it "too confusing and challenging for new players".

The map is a reenactment of the End of the Line video. The teams have to deal with BLU sending a train towards the RED base. The fight is centered on RED putting up obstacles on the track that BLU has to clear by capturing the points. Every time BLU captures a control point, the train movies down the railroad track towards the RED base, if the train reaches RED base, the BLU team is victorious. For every 30 seconds that RED prevents BLU from capturing a point, the train is hit by a big log which reduces its health by 10%, RED wins if they successfully reduce the train's health to 0%.

Trivia

• Given how BLU's base is destroyed in the background, it would seem that the map would have taken place after the End of the Line video.
• In stage 1, a card board cutout of a yeti can be seen next to a cliff. The Yeti is wearing J.Axer's Dapper Topper
• In stage 1, near the second point, a series of doors can be found. Behind 2 are rubber ducks. Behind the left door contains Hat of Undeniable Wealth And Respect
• In stage 1, some Doves flying with a bomb can be seen above the trees in the skybox next to the cliff. This is a reference to the last scene in the movie End of the Line
• Snowplow was available for public Beta testing prior to being pulled from the End of the Line Update.
