For meany Q fans a piece of history may be scrapped. Last week the BNSF
called the Lincoln Neb. rotary which has spent most of the winter at
Willmar MN, for plow duty. Running on the Willmar Sub. the blad bearing
came apart causing catastrophic damage to the snow shoot and wiping off
all blades on the plows front end. At this time there no plans for
rebuild.
Q fans should remember this plow as CB&Q # 205028 Rebuilt at the
Denver Shops in 1949 to become America,s first electric powered plow.
The BN # was 972558
