Nice shot. It's interesting to see a plow running along with the rest of the train.

A dangerous practice long forbidden.

Beautiful shot with lots of drama, I like it! As before I have no idea how this could be done safely (no operator visibility), but perhaps there are plenty of spotters on scene.
