Probably the most picturesque phase
of American railroad uin-ratlons Is
found in the manner lu which the
steam roads of tlte Woet battle with
tho giant snowdrifts of the mountain
Hglotis. This novel activity is soeu lu
its most siwrtacular form ou the higher
levels of the Hocky mountains. The
largest rotary snow plow In the world
l In service on that engineering mar
vel, the Moffat railroad In Colorado,
and the manner In widen it bdree
through the great whIU banks that
block the steel-tracked highway has
solved oue of the most perplexing prob
lems of operating railroad more than
11.000 feet above the level of the sea.
: In the early days of railroading In
the region beyond the Mississippi river
the familiar hand shovel was the main
dependence tor clearing the tracks, and
after every heavy fall of "the beauti
ful" an army of men tlutt Included ev
ery available employe of the road was
hurried to points where blockades
might be expected. Locomotives, tn
strings of two, three or four were also
hurled against the drifts tn an effort
to dislodge the troublesome masses of
icy crystals.
As a solution for this last-mentioned
makeshift some genius Invented the
pnsh plow, a huge wedge-abaped struc
ture on wheels, which "bucks" the
drifts, impelled by the force of several
powerful locomotives behind It, and If
the snow barriers be not too heavy, can
force a pathway through the mass.
However, the fact that even the heavi
est snow plows are ofttltnes baffled
by the drifts In the mountains Indi
cated the necessity for a yet more pow
erful type of snow tighter, and thus In
time there was evolved the snow plow
known as the rotary, which has revolu
tionized the methods of fighting snow
and is represented In the rolling stock
of every railroad that is liable to feel
the grip of the western blizzard.
In the principle of Its operation the
rotary Is radically different from all
other designs of snow plows, for In
stead of being anything In the nature
of a scoop or shovel that shoves the
snow aside. Its chief working mechan
ism consists of a monster wheel which
burrows through the snow, tossing the
more or less fleecy material In every
direction. The wheel or snow screw

Thomas Ityan a member of the fam
ous quintet club In "The Keeouections
of an Old Museum," tells of the recep
tion of a young woman lecturer in n
small Wisconsin town:
It was a voung men's society wnicn
had summoned her, made up of very
youthful members. When she reached
the station the entire association was
lined up to meet her, and she was cere
moniously' introduced, then ana mere,
tn each ona. As the weather was ex
tremely cold, the process was an ordeal.
This over, the leauer wipea ois nrow
on innked about as If asking what to
do next Miss Andrews suggested the
hotel. A one-borse sleigh was prouue
tim leader handed the lecturer in,
got in himself dnd offered her the reins.
She declined, saying he knew the horse
snd wav better than she. The young
man seemed relieved, and quite satis
fied that he had shown the guest or the
society every courtesy possible.
That evening the whole aasoclartciii
again met and escorted the lecturer to
the hall. The room was packed.
On the stage was an old-fashioned
settee with legs In the middle and at
each end. When Miss Andrews sat
down the affair tilted with her. A
large, heavily built clergyman came lu
and seated himself on the other end.
Up went the settee, and up went Miss
Andrews until her feet no longer touch
ed the floor. The audience giggled and
at the forward end of a rotary resem
bles tho prtHwllcr of a steamship or a
giant electric fait, although, of course.
It has inauy more blades than either of
these.
The wheel of the a vera go rotary
snow tighter Is from 8 to Vi feVt In
diameter and consists ot a series of
hollow, coueNihapcd steel scoops, each
quipped with a knlfo-llke piece ot
metal. As tho wheel revolves at high
Teed, these blades strike the snow
and ic loosening It and throwing It
Into the scoops. The wheel proper Is
Inclosed In a metal bood, at the top of
which U a square opening or funnel.
Hy the revolution of the wheel, the
anow caught up by the ecooa la thrown
through this opening with great force,
and tho funnel Is so shaped that the
spow, U hurled In an oblique direction
and caused to fall at a distance of from
CO to 100 feet from the side of the
track, according to the sieod at which
the wheel Is being operated. Moreover,
the hood is Inclined Inward, so tluvt the
falling snow does not descend uion the
top of the rotary and bury the machine
in a drift of Ita own making.
The rotary plow, like the old-fashioned
type ot push plow, Is propelled
by a couple of powerful locomotives,
but the power for oieratlng the great
propeller Is contained within the plow
Itself. This Is supplied by an engine
somewhat resembling a marine engine,
but capable of developing almost as
much power as a locomotive. The ro
tary must withstand the force of push
ing engines behind, as well aa counter
act the aide motion of the great whir,
ring wheel, and consequently the roof
and aides, as well as the framework,
are of metal, and the machinery Is set
as near the ground aa possible, In or
der to help "steady" this energetic me
chanical toller. The weight of the av
erage rotary, complete with tender for
fuel and water, Is more than 100 tons.
At the forward part of the plow la the
idiot bouse, wherein Is stationed the
jdlot who directs the ojierntlon of the
rotary and communicates the necessary
Instructions to the engineers of the lo
cjmotlvcs in the rear.
A giant rotary can force Ita way
through almost any snow barrier at a
speed of from four to six miles per
hour, as a minimum. The ponderous,
knife-armed wheel, spins around at a
speed of from ISO to 300 revolutions
Miss Andrews laughed ; there was noth
ing else to do.
The lecturer scanned the house.
Foremost, lennlng with folded arms
on the edge of tlie stage, sat a young
man In a red flannel shirt who never
took his eyes off the lady on the plat
form. . ... . . .
Finally the reverend glnnt rose to In
troduce the lecturer. ' This suddenly lot
Miss Andrews' end of the settee dtxwn

The clergyman was long-winded, nnd
the red-shlrtod young man became rest

pilot house records every fluctuation In
the resistance offered by the snow bar
rlers and a pneumatic whistle enable
the pilot to quickly signal for any de
sired change of speed.
The anow depths at some of tho high
er altitudes of tlie American Als are
almost Incredible, but a big rotary,
working like a herculean augur aud
ttwalng aside Its snow borings like
chli driven out of a fan blower In
planing mill, could actually burrow
to any depth If there were any way
to get rid of the snow thus excavated.
The whole principle of the armored car
with the big wheel churning tlie snow
tvfore It is so simple that once It had
been devised railroad men wondered
that they had not hit uwu tlie scheme
long ago.
There are places where the work of
the rotary plows in keeping open tlie
trail for the iron horses Is ably aug
mented, on the principle of prevention,
by great miowslieda stout fences or
wooden runnels designed to keep tlie
snow from drifting over the tracks
but It is probable that had the effi
ciency of the modern rotary marvels
been anticipated, many railroads would
not have expended as much money as
they did some years ago In construct
ing snowsbeda. Thirty-two miles of
anowsheds, costing 04 foot or nearly
$11,000,000 In tlie aggregate, represents
the price one transcontinental railroad
had to pay before It could successfully
operate Its trains over the ltocky moun
tain division.
Nowadays the rotarles cost something
like $10,000 each, but even at that price
tbey represent great saving over
snowsheds which, aside from their first
omt, eat up thousands of dollars in re
pairs every year. Moreover, the ro
tarles have been Instrumental in saving
omntlcss lives not merely by carrying
aid and food to snow-bound train aud
snow-bound villages, but also by reduc
ing the number of casualties among
railroad men engaged In lighting the
snow. Wnldon Fawcett in Ht Louis
