The Broadmoor Manitou & Pikes Peak Railway will receive a new snow blower as part of its renovation of the tourist cog railway, with the capability of cutting through snow drifts up to 10’ tall and 20’ wide.

The 47.2-inch-diameter cutting reels can cut through 4,200 tons of snow per hour and have the ability to blow snow 50 to 100 feet off the line. 

The new snowblower will be delivered in Spring 2021 with the first new train set.

The complete renovation (track, rail cars and depot) and renaissance of the famed Colorado Cog Railway, which reaches up to 14,115 feet and is the highest railway in America, has less than 1 mile of track left to complete. 

The Railway is still on track for with a May 2021 reopening.
