Sorry I'm late to the party. So far I've absolutely loved the White-Face BN shot, and the CNW Heritage shot. Here's a couple of mine that you've probably seen before, but seem to fit the theme:

I've only taken a couple of photos in the snow that are worth looking at:

Looks like some fun in the snow there. Here's a few to add to the collection on this topic, all are from central Minnesota since the first of the year.

I'm hoping for more snow before the spring thaw shows up.

Rave:  Those are great shots to my eyes.  Gives the impression the next train coming by will really be flying on the great looking tangent track.  Also well depicts the depth of winter with the dark skies and snow.

Rave, you took some interesting photos. Reminds me of the many hours I spent in the Chicago area chasing winter time trains. Where were these photos taken?
