Rotary Snow Plows are large pieces of railroad equipment with a rotating metal wheel that slices through large snow drifts and throws them to the side of the tracks, clearing the way for other trains to pass through. These days, very few of these plows exist, let alone operate. In the winter of 2020, the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad operated one of its steam rotary plows over Cumbres Pass for the first time since 1997 to celebrate the railroad's 50th anniversary as well as 140 years of steam over Cumbres Pass. Come along as we see Rotary OY in action during this special 2 day event!
