There’s just something special about witnessing steam trains working through winter weather. Watching as huge clouds of hot exhaust condense into steam in the cold air. Come with us for a quick trip across the United States, as we look back on some of our favorite Steam in the Snow moments.
If you want to see slight smaller, but equally interesting, railroads operating in snowy conditions, also be sure to watch the Garden Variety Railroad Show Snow Week Special on Trains.com Video!
I remember back in the early 1960s as a child growing up in the Perkioman valley in PA. the Ironhorse Rambles put on by the Reading Railroad . Schwenksville PA. Dutch celebration was the destination of the train from Philadelphia . The track was still in good enough condition to allow the train to travel at what I thought at the time a great speed . That magnificent whistle could be heard over a mile away and the overwhelming rumble as the engine pulling those heavy steel cars passed through my village of Rahns .
