    • Description: Rotary snowplow train in the snow with men around and in the train

      Printed on verso: Southern Pacific Rotary Snowplow. Snow-fighting has always been a serious problem for American railroads, except in the South. Western roads built snowsheds over their tracks in the mountains and locomotives were fitted with wedge-shaped plows. Long ago, trains were sometimes lost for hours, even days, in blizzards. Near Cheyenne, Wyoming, in 1872, a passenger train was snowbound for two weeks. Invention of the rotary plow, such as the one in this picture, in the 1880's simplified the problem. But even as late as February 22, 1910, an entire Great Northern passenger train, snowbound for four days outside the old Cascade Tunnel in Washington, was hurled down a slope by an avalanche, with a death toll of 101. Among the devices used today to fight snow are snow fences, fixed electric or gas switch-heaters, portable oil burning pots set between the ties, torches, chemicals, and bulldozer scrapers. Then too, gangs of men stand ready to shovel snow. One good way to keep the line open during a blizzard is to run a train over it every half-hour, day and night.
