Union Pacific No. 900082 is a rotary snowplow. It was designed by the Union Pacific and built in the Omaha, NE, shops in 1971.
It was built for the Union Pacific railroad to blow snow off the tracks.
It is now at the Union Pacific roundhouse in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
UP 900082 was moved March 12–13, 2023 to Rawlins, WY, for use in clearing snow from the Rawlins Subdivision west of Rawlins between Wamsutter and Riner, WY.

- Although it doesn’t see service very often, each fall it is tested in case it is required for use.
- Like all rotary snow ploughs, #900082 needs a locomotive attached to move it backward and forward.
