Here is a rare steam powered rotary snow-clearing operation on the former Rio Grande Narrow Gauge (now Cumbres & Toltec Scenic RR) in northern New Mexico and Colorado. The rotary OY snow plow is steam operated, but her own boiler can only power her blade, thus locomotives are required to push it ahead. The southern…
Watch Santa Fe 4-8-4 number 3751 make a historic trip from Los Angeles to Chicago following the transcontinental mainline – some 2300 miles.
