| | Title: | Rio Grande Southern Railroad snow plowing at Lizard Head Pass (Colo.) | ||
| Date/circa: | 1910/1919 | |||
| Photographer: | ||||
| Subjects: | Rio Grande Southern Railroad (Colo.); ; Railroads--Snow-plows--Pictorial works; Lizard Head Pass (Colo.) | |||
| Notes: | Mile Post 052.61. Shows eight locomotives. As to the year of this photo, Robert Herrone notes that "The rotary snowplow blew up Feb. 4, 1949. I suspect this was very early, in the 1910 or 1920s. There are 5 locomotives pushing the rotary and none have diamond-stacks any longer. The C-16 class locomotives were being retired in the 1910s."
