This rotary snow plow from 1966 is both massive (167 tons) and powerful (3000HP). Note that all that power goes towards driving the cutting wheel -- as this unit is not self propelled, it must be pushed by 3 or 4 locomotives. Typical speed of operation was 4 to 6 mph. It was in service in Wyoming through the mid 1980s.
