Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.
Spectacular! But I think it must be a light, unpacked snow as the two locomotives seem to have no real problems zipping right through. And that wooden bridge...or at least what looks like a wooden bridge...I gotta see it, gotta ride it!
RIDEWITHMEHENRY is the name for our almost monthly day of riding trains and transit in either the NYCity or Philadelphia areas including all commuter lines, Amtrak, subways, light rail and trolleys, bus and ferries when warranted. No fees, just let us know you want to join the ride and pay your fares. Ask to be on our email list or find us on FB as RIDEWITHMEHENRY (all caps) to get descriptions of each outing.
30 years ago I rode the length of New Zealand on both NZR's North and South Island main lines. I had intended to also ride the Arthur Pass line as it was electrified, but historic flooding foiled my plan. I see I waited too long to go back, since the video shows the line is no longer wired.
But with a bridge like that, a pass like that, scenery like that, a railroad like that, I'm wired!
Plowing snow with the front door open. You're sure not in western Canada!

I guess I should also be happy there is still passenger service on the line. I just checked the RailNewZealand site, and I was surprised to see that while this line still had service, there is no longer service south of this line to the southern end of the South Island along that more populated coastal corridor.
