VIDEO: Train ploughs through big snow

A few days ago a Facebook reader of WeatherWatch.co.nz posted a link about a train crossing the Southern Alps and it cleared snow rapidly as it went along. It was an impressive sight.

This time we take you to the USA and a snowtrain clears the track at pace and at times the engine and plough is completely inundated.

A bit of a problem with the wind speed on the anemometer!  Lovely photos!  Idyllic shots.  And to see it cradled in the valley by the trees and the hills - great scenic shot from the hill elevation!!   Thanks for sharing!!

Good shots alright, Must have been at least a metre of snow there.
Makes the 14cm we got from the same event seem like nothing.

Absolutly wonderful photos. Just like in a fairy tale. Makes one feel like Hansel and Gretel approaching the witch's cottage. Gosh I have an imagination. Great photography. Thanks.
