              The rotary snow plow and several train engines are stopped in a deep drift of snow covering the railroad tracks on Barney Ford Hill, east of Breckenridge, Colorado, in April 1899. A well-dressed man stands on a rock overlooking the tracks, while shovelers dig out debris buried under snow that could damage the rotary's blades. View of snowy Tenmile Range in the background.

              Plumes of smoke rise from the rotary snow plow and helper engines on the way to Boreas Pass, east of Breckenridge, Colorado. Because it was not self-propelled, the rotary snow plow required four to six railroad locomotives to push it through deep drifts of snow. Men stand on the side to watch the rotary throw snow from the tracks. Tenmile Range in the background. During the "Big Snow" event of 1898-1899.

              People on or above the rotary snow plow stopped in one of the cuts through the deep snow drifts at Boreas Pass, east of Breckenridge, Colorado. Standing on the tracks below, a man holds a shovel high against the exposed side walls to show the snow depth. With him is another man and a boy with two dogs. Circa April 1899.
