Rio Grande No. OY

Denver & Rio Grande Western No. Oy is a rotary snowplow built by the Cooke Locomotive Works in 1923 at a cost of $38,336.26 for the Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad. It was built for blowing snow off the tracks.
OY was last used by the D&RGW in 1962, but it was later sold to the C&TS which used it to blow snow off the tourist line during snowy periods.
Today, this coal fired rotary snowplow is still in use by the C&TS.
==Trivia==
*It is one of two ex-D&RGW rotary snowplows owned by the C&TS. The other is #OM.
*The C&T would use OY about every other year to clear the railroad.
