While the snow can melt amazing swiftly when the spring sun comes out, i agree with Rich it would be nice to have some idea what if any snow clearing will need to be done. Most likely what snow needs to be cleared will be done with a front end loader. But even if that is the case I have seen some pretty dramatic pix of opening day trains going through big drifts. Would be nice to know what to expect around opening day, perhaps above average reasons to visit.
