Re: Rotary Snowplow Park, Breckenridge, CO

Actually the snow plow did have a tender when it arrived on the Sumpter Valley. It was not the original one however, but one of the 190 class tenders which had been converted by adding an auxilliary reservoir and triple valve. At the time we had three steamers (2 mikes and the plow) and two tenders, and there was considerable discussion about which one to use with the 19. The tender equipped for 6ET brakes had badly worn wheel sets and the one with good running gear had K brakes.
The plow was indeed converted to oil in Alaska. The burner mechinism was was intact when it arrived in Baker City.
