Heh It was nice to see a car that is on the pikes peek rail-line that is named after my home town., Leadville I had no idea there was a car named that there. I think i may have to go pay a visit and ride that car.
The snow is deeper in some drifts than the snowplow train is tall. The chainsaw is the fastest way to cut through the overhanging blocks of snow and ice that the plow can't reach.
One thing that you don't get from this video is how hard it is to do manual labor at this elevation (assumed to be above 12,000 as there are no trees). The atmosphere is much thinner the higher you go. Obviously these people are accustom to working up there. I just visited the summit the week before Christmas and it was incredible, but also kicked my butt @ 14,110 for not being accustom to the low oxygen content!!! and that was just WALKING around up there!
i went up on pike's peak a few years back in june...there wasn't any snow until about 500 feet to the summit, and at the very top, it was way above my head.

Yes, he did. But it does add a little suspense to the video.
