Is this at least part what you're looking for?

Rotary SPMW 222 is down for the count

On the morning of Feb. 28, with the grounded flanger removed, spreaders moved east on Track 1 shoving snow onto Track 2. The rotary would follow on Track 2 and toss that snow up and over the rim of the shelf the railroad runs on.

The leading rotary was SPMW 222, fresh from its recent rebuild. This was to be its maiden run. The unthinkable struck immediately: after plowing barely 2 miles, the bearings on the main shaft of the spinning rotor failed, disabling No. 222. This was just west of Cisco.

Regarding the disabled rotary, Union Pacific spokesman Tim McMahan tells Trains News Wire that “the SPMW 222 was tested but is not being used.” No further information on its status is available at this time. -- By S R Bush | March 4, 2019 [trn.trains.com]
