Remarks & Notes 
DL&G Rotary 01 was built in 1889, and was DL&G's only rotary snowplow. It was used to clear heavily snowy lines that could not be cleared by a spreader (Boreas Pass, Alpine). In 1899, it became Colorado & Southern 99201. For such an ancient beast, it really does look advanced, and it's well-cared-for in a park at the south end of Breckenridge, right off the old right of way taking the DL&G/C&S over Boreas Pass south to Como.
