5118.4Rotary snowplow train in the snow with men around and

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.

is 133 feet long, nearly one-half the length of a city block, weighs 1,208,750
pound, and has a fuel capacity of 28 tons. This monster of the rails is hinged
in the center to permit it to take curves it otherwise could not accomplish.
One Big Boy does the work which formerly required two locomotives, and when
under full steam consumes 100,000 pounds of water and 22,000 pounds of coal per
hour. It sets a world standard for size and power. Union Pacific Railroad has a

Long Beach Peninsula, at 15, 28-29, Arcadia Publishing 2005). In 1907 the
