A friend and I were caught in that opening day snow. We were stopped just north of the Cresco Tank in a very cold coach and the crew first tried shoveling snow from the rails. When that didn’t work we were left while the engine, without a plow, made its way up to the Coxo crossing for sand and then to Cumbres before backing down for us.
