"Roseville has been awarded membership in Union Pacific’s Train Town USA Registry and presented with Union Pacific’s rotary snow plow SPMW 7221. This historic railroad snow removal plow will be on permanent display on Atlantic Street just outside Union Pacific’s J.R. Davis Yard in Roseville." http://placercountyonline.com/2014/roseville-named-train-town-usa-given-rotary-snow-plow-union-pacific/ Don Strack Date: 07/17/14 09:46 Re: UP gives Roseville a rotary snow plow Author: iliketrains That's pretty neat.

Was moved using 4 Dobbas Construction side caster cats from running track to display track. Date: 07/17/14 11:14 Re: UP gives Roseville a rotary snow plow Author: Margaret_SP_fan Very nice donation. And in the right city.
But: is the UP really that sure they will not need this rotary in the future on the Hill? Date: 07/17/14 11:53 Re: UP gives Roseville a rotary snow plow Author: Realist Margaret_SP_fan Wrote:

Don't they have 3 or 4 others? Date: 07/17/14 12:53 Re: UP gives Roseville a rotary snow plow Author: SN711 I believe the one that was donated had been out of service for a long time. It was at least not one of the ones on standby for regular use.
I went through Roseville two weeks ago and stopped to touch the plow. It is one of those things you have to be able to get close to see how the blade worked. There is currently no fence around it, but it looks like one could be installed to match the fence around the adjacent steamer.

They have kept four of the original nine SP Rotaries. It is the UP's railroad so it must be enough.
