Breckenridge Rotary Snowplow Park - a photo on Flickriver

            A park in Breckenridge, Colorado showcases a 108-ton snowplow that was built in 1901 for the White Pass and Yukon Route in Alaska. This particular example was the 61st machine of its type made by the Cook Locomotive and Machine Company of Patterson, N.J. It was used in Alaska as the White Pass Rotary #2 until 1963, at which time bulldozers took its place. The machine stayed in the White Pass Yards in Skagway, Alaska until 1977. This was when it was transported to Baker, Oregon by Sumpter Valley Railroad Restoration Inc. 

The Denver, Leadville and Gunnison Railway bought the snowplow in 1988 when it was moved to Denver to undergo repairs. After six months time, the restored rotary was transported from Denver through Hoosier Pass to Breckenridge.
