Snow work near Breckenridge

circa 1898

View of a rotary snowplow on Boreas Pass, southeast of Breckenridge, Colorado. The steam dome and smokestack of a train show through deep snow emitting a strong blast of smoke from the stack. Men and equipment are ranged on the snowbank surrounding the train, setting the train free.
