Any idea what the snowplow was? The Gunnison plow 09271 was only a gondola with a plow blade on one end and no coupler. Looks like the railroad is preparing to embargo Cedar Creek to Cimarron, and moving what cars and engines needed to be moved through the Black Canyon. Your earlier sheets from the 1930's and early 40's show K27's pulled light over the bridges in the Black Canyon. My bet is after backshopping the 454 worked the RGS back to Montrose.
