While traveling through Colorado in June of 2004, Harry Weston had time to stop at the Rotary Snowplow Park in Breckenridge, Colorado. The park is located near the junction of Highway 9 and Boreas Pass Road at the southern end of the city. According to a couple of sources, Boreas Pass Road follows the route the old railroad line used to take and the park sits on the former right of way of the Colorado & Southern railroad.
   The rotary snowplow shown in these pictures is one of only five known narrow-gauge rotaries in existence (details of the rotary are in the first picture). The engine was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia in April 1926 and shipped to Central America. It hauled bananas for the United Fruit Co. most of its life and, many years later, was purchased at auction by the city.
   The engine and the blower are similar to those that were in use locally from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. The engine was restored before it was shipped to the park and was painted to match the colors and logo of Colorado, Denver and South Park Railroad. According to one local railroad buff, the engine is still in running order, but the snowplow is not.
