Awesome footage and your stamina in weathering the avalanche of snow blasted towards you and your video camera. Interesting that there were all those foolish car drivers playing chicken with that oncoming tanker train, scary!

So true Beth. Interesting to note that my family thought it was too slow and didn’t like it. In this day and day of instant-video-game stimulation, they thought the train wasn’t moving fast enough. I like you, loved the suspense of the oncoming beast.

Hmmmm. That would be a large number of shovel fulls. I would take their approach and just plow through it. Lot’s of muscle behind that locomotive.

It was pretty cool! I know that around here they have “plow” engines that clear the tracks first, but we aren’t as tough as you Canadians!
