There's a really cool snowblower train that plies Donner Pass between Sacramento and Reno: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItdRfvYHPAY https://www.youtube.com/

  "Cool" is the word to describe it, especially in the middle of all that snow. There's an example of that kind of rail-clearing engine in Skagway, Alaska. I saw it there just over a month ago. That snow machine isn't used anymore--an historic museum piece on exhibit--but close up it is impressive.

    Maybe they'll finally start running Capitol Corridor trains to Reno? That would be lovely in the winter for heading up to Tahoe for skiing...
