Big Jim - I have seen this before but it is so entertaining to watch I enjoyed as much the second time. With all the snow we have had this year, I should get out and take some myself. But when the pictures are the best, I'm enjoying being inside.

New Zealand, as I recall?
Cool indeed....
Awesome
That's pretty impressive considering how deep the snow was. The conductor was pretty brave opening up the front door.
I really like these videos...just saw one on a tv show last week! Can't recall...

You made the statement, "the snow is almost to the limit height!"
I ask "what exactly is the "limit height"? Obviously YOU must have something to back that statement up, i.e. share. So,,,,,,,I'll ask again, what is the "limit height" you refer to?
I guess I was wrong....

According to the FRA, and Amtrak operators safety handbook... any snow that is hitting the cab and endangering the safety of the crew.

I was right!!
Several years ago I was returning from Christmas holiday on the VERMONTER. There was 18" to two feet of snow on the tracks and it hadn't been plowed. Amtrak's response was to slow down and sound the horn continuously. We arrived in Springfield 2 hours late. Later at New Haven, we couldn't pull into the electrified zone because of snow piled on top of the rear engine. (The train changes direction at Palmer, Mass.) We had to wait for a maintenance crew to be taxied out of the station to detach it.
