Union Pacific Rotary Snowplows on Donner Pass

A test run of the Union Pacific's rotary snowplows from Cisco to Norden, California. Snow was moved from main track 1 to main track 2 by Jordan spreaders and the rotary snowplows were operated on track 2. Additional removal of snow was accomplished by the rotary to increase width adjacent to track 2.

Great stuff. Last time I was in Ogden I got a look at the Fuel oil steam powered one on Static display hooked to a Wrecking crane. Impressive but it's more fun to see something out getting the work done. I'm happy to enjoy all of them either way it's Important to keep them around. If I had the money I would donate it to get them going. I'm just dreaming on that and trying to pay the bills like most of us. Great video thanks for making my day

Mesmerizing! Although I had a visual of an alternate ending to Fargo that wasn't as serene.

While it's nice hearing them use the old single chime horn over the more modern horn on the roof, it's still a shame that they ain't using the even older steam whistle on the roof, or the steam at all in fact, it appears that the steam heaters are not running even if the equipment is still in place

[@wwta]
