Union Pacific rotary snowplow No. 900082 pelts the grain elevator at Weskan, Kansas, on New Year’s Day 2007. This plow extra operated east from Denver to open up the Kansas Pacific line to Salina. High winds and 32 inches of snow buried parts of Colorado and Kansas during the December 29-30 storm. Providing motive power for the rotary train is a pair of GEs, with three support cars trailing the power, along with a backwards-facing EMD SD70M, to be used to pull the outfit westward out of a stuck position, if needed.
