Rotary snowplow

A rotary snowplow (American English) or rotary snowplough is a piece of railroad snow removal equipment with a large circular set of blades on its front end that rotate to cut through the snow on the track ahead of it. It was developed in the late 19th century for use when snow is too deep to be removed by a wedge snowplow.
