PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a snow removal brush capable of easily removing snow accumulated on a trolley wire.SOLUTION: A snow removal brush 60 comprises: a brush rotary shaft 61 disposed on both side surfaces in the direction of vehicle width Dw of a vehicle body 51 running on a track 2, and rotatably supported to the vehicle body 51 around a shaft line O, the shaft line O extending in a direction intersecting a track road surface 21 of the track 2; and a brush portion 63 protruding from an outer peripheral surface of the brush rotary shaft 61 outwardly in a radial direction. The brush portion 63 is disposed on the track 2, and configured to touch a trolley wire 4, which supplies electric power to the vehicle body 51.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】本発明の除雪ブラシは、電車線に積もった雪を容易に除去することができる。【解決手段】除雪ブラシ６０は、軌道２を走行する車両本体５１の車幅方向Ｄｗの両側の側面に配置され、軌道２の軌道路面２１と交差する方向に延びる軸線Ｏの軸線Ｏ回りに回転可能に車両本体５１に対して支持されるブラシ回転軸６１と、ブラシ回転軸６１の外周面から径方向外側に突出するブラシ部６３とを備える。ブラシ部６３は、軌道２に設けられて車両本体５１に電気を供給する電車線４に接するよう形成されている。【選択図】図２
