Steam Trains In The Snow

Steam trains are majestic and imposing machines - but perhaps more-so when the air is cold and the plumes of smoke and steam contrast dramatically against the frigid air. Steam power in the snow makes for one of the most impressive displays of raw power - and one of the rarest. Many steam engines that still operate rarely, if ever, run in the snow.
