Here's an unusual sight: A steam rotary snow plow pushed by steam! From the program "Rocky Mountain Snowplow": http://rfd.video/RockyMountainSnowplow | Railfan Depot

This 1500 hp rotary snowplow train with its front intake and side blower, can move massive amounts of snow in minutes while moving SLOWER than wedge-shaped plows. We love unique engineering! #ImpossibleRailroads | Science Channel

While the town of Truckee, California digs out, the Southern Pacific Rotaries snowplow have a full day of work ahead of them. They proceed to remove massive amounts of the white stuff from the mainline.

Steam powered Rotary OY, shows her stuff. Watch the gears turn! From the program "The Rotary" showcasing her snow-busting outing in 2020. https://rfd.video/Rotary2020 | Railfan Depot

This is a rotary snowplow. It's used to break up the snow and then it's fed into a blower that blows the snow off the road. So cool! #rockymountainhigh #trailridgeroad #mountainroad #foryou #rockymountains #rockymountainnationalpark #viralreels #reelsvideo #reelsfb #amazingvideo #Colorado #snowplow #snowplowing | Colorado Adventures

Watch a massive rotary snowplow train in action as it tears through deep snow, keeping railways open in extreme winter conditions. Rotary snowplows use giant rotating blades to cut through snow that’s too deep for regular wedge plows. Developed in the late 19th century, these machines fling snow far from the tracks, preventing buildup and ensuring safe passage for trains. Powerful, precise, and built to tackle harsh winters, rotary snowplows are a critical part of keeping railroads operational d
