Western Railroad Discussion > UP Cheyenne rotary being towed westDate: 03/12/23 22:41 UP Cheyenne rotary being towed west Author: highgreengraphics UP's seldom-used Cheyenne rotary plow 900082 was towed west today to help clear the snow blockade in western Wyoming west of Rawlins that has trains parked all over. Lead unit UP 5011 pulls the plow support cars and UP 7470 and 6500 (in new image) past the "Highest Point" sign at Sherman, WY late this afternoon. Thanks to JS and DG for the headsup. === === = === JLH

have seen of the rotary experiencing something other than the inside of the Cheyenne roundhouse ... actually may get to flex a muscle or two! It's cousins over on Donner are gettin' a work out too!

I'm guessing it's used more for the drifts than anything else. Sure hope someone gets some video of it action, it's been fun to watch the SP ones this winter.

it looked like it had just been waxed! Hope it runs as good as it looks. Out Date: 03/13/23 14:27 Re: UP Cheyenne rotary being towed west Author: isambard Great catch, great photo. I remember seeing it in the roundhouse; on the tracks it looks like something out of Star Wars.
