Roger,

Great video. I was in the fireman school in October 2009, and we ran into snow above Cresco as well. It was a similar scene on top- I'll have to look for pictures.

We went in the siding, and waited for the regular train behind us... and waited. We heard 484 struggling, and then stop. Apparently they had to build steam (or something else) below Windy Point, and hearing her start that train through the snow was something else. Watching it finally put that train over the top was VERY similar to your movie.

Thanks for bringing all that back!
