SP rotary plows at Sparks -- Dec 80
Author: gcm

Taken from the westbound San Francisco Zephyr are a couple SP plows at Sparks,NV.
205 was built in 1920 and converted from steam in 1958.
210 was built in 1937 (another site said 1925) and converted from steam in 1968 (another site said 1958).

Nice, I remember seeing them from the freeway and the California Zephyr. Think I managed to get some photos. Still hope to see them in operation one of these years.
