Remarks & Notes |
The Colorado Railroad Museum’s Colorado & Southern Rotary Steam Snow Plow #99201 was built by the Cooke Locomotive and Machine Works in 1899. The plow was fitted with standard gauge trucks and worked the Denver to Cheyenne line during the blizzard of 1913 and later was refitted with narrow gauge trucks and worked between Denver and Leadville. It was refitted in 1949 back to standard gauge and worked the Leadville to Climax line until 1965. It was donated to the Colorado Railroad Museum in 1972.
