This has gone viral. The first southbound Amtrak from Albany after the blizzard. Clueless passengers checking Facebook...

Great!!!! Also notice the nice sharp edge of the snow, where the contractor that snow-blowed the station platform, most likely blew the snow out onto the track.
Now, a railfan would know and expect to have snow blown all over the place from the force of the moving train, and get out of the way, but wouldn't you think that virtually anyone with normal eye sight would certainly expect something to be thrown at them as they watch the snow spread from the front of the train?

Next month there will be signs posted warning folks of potential snow blast. 
A few years earlier on the NEC:
In the first video, I would have made a show of deliberately looking at the approaching train, and then looking down at just how much snow was piled on the tracks a couple of times, loudly said "NOPE" and took cover well before the approaching bow wave.

Common sense Can't be googled,I guess
Snow. It doesn't stay behind the yellow line.
Unbelievable. These people actually gave no thought to all the snow on the track, and I would presume that most or all of them live in the northeast, where snow is part of life from November through March.
Sometimes people have to use common sense. I don't feel a bit sorry for them. Hope their glasses did not get lost.
Nobody thinks.....nobody.
