Anybody see this? Looks weird, but then again, I'm not use to snow.

That's a great video! It does look weird to see only a giant roiling snowball coming without view of the locomotives until they pass by! Engineer visibility must be zero! Eek

That is cool.
Somewhere on there is the rest of that video where they bury the thing in a drift and it takes 6 units to pull it back out. After that, I remember reading in the comments that they ran it across an icy crossing where it derailed and buried itself in the mud. They left it there till spring.
Found 'em...
Gettin' stuck...

I like this one... kinda freaky looking but cool at the same time.
