Union Pacific rotary snowplow No. 900082 is eastbound approaching a snowbound Sharon Springs, Kansas, on New Year’s day in 2007. Closely following the rotary is another snow train with more locomotives for the stranded trains, a Jordan Spreader, more support cars and a Caterpillar with a backhoe on a flatcar. Trains have been stranded there for several days and high winds and 32 inches of snow buried the town during the December 29-30 storm. Sharon Springs and its grain elevators can be seen in the distance.
