Description
The Cumbres and Toltec have two steam powered rotary snowplows. One is OM, this one is OY. Built in 1923 like most of the steam engines that push it, it is used after heavy snow years to open the line prior to an end of May tourist season. It is a most interesting sight and experience to witness.

Hi, Carolyn, this is done out of Chama, NM where Jukes Tree resides. They run one of their two rotaries when they have a heavy snow year. Best thing to do is call the Cumbres and Toltec around May 15th or so and see if they are planning a run. They run from Chama to the top of Cumbres Pass. There are several blogs by people that work for or run the C&T and you might find early info from one of them. I'd just do a search for the blogs as they tend to come and go. This photo was taken on May 25, 1983 to give you some idea. The railroad opened the season a couple of days later. So they wait as long as they can. Best regards, Griff
