Christmas train at the Kiski Junction, 2003, too much snow for people to even get to us.

Tom, this was a great idea for a thread. Here is one from February of 1979. the winters of 77-79 were just plain brutal, no other word for them.

Can't take credit for this one - it's from the open media files at www8.cpr.ca (holiday train):
And to be fair to the other national railway, here are some CNR shots from the archives at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.imagescn.technomuses.ca/index1.html">http://www.imagescn.technomuses.ca/index1.html</a><!-- m -->
Cold water stop on the prairies (?):
Digging out a caboose circa 1951:
It seems as if no amount of digging will free this engine...
Brrrrr....!!

That actually looks to me like a plow they are digging out rather than a caboose. And wow, that lokie is buried good!

You're right... The end you can see doesn't look "caboose-ish". :?: That's what the caption says, but expect you are right based on the following info:
#55231 is/was a wedge plow <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://cnlines.ca/CNcyclopedia/misc/img_55231.jpg">http://cnlines.ca/CNcyclopedia/misc/img_55231.jpg</a><!-- m -->.

Of course, this all begs the question, "when the plow is stuck..."

Famous picture from the Blizzard of 1888.
Central New England, actually the Connecticut and North Western at that time, loco plowing through a snow drift outside Norfolk, Connecticut.
Actually this is a copy of this picture I bought at the Springfield Show some years back.
