"It’s back home for the former OC&E snowplow.

The 90,000-pound plow was one of three built in 1941 to help clear the OC&E (Oregon, California & Eastern) Railroad tracks between Klamath Falls and Bly. The snowplow was donated to the Friends of Collier Park by Bill Putnam, the son of its former owner, the late Leonard Putnam.

It was moved from Putnam's home in Pine Grove to Olene.

The Friends group considered moving the snowplow to Collier Memorial State Park & Logging Museum, but decided to park it instead at the Olene trailhead off Highway 140." (visit link)
