Snowblasting Action & Arctic Cold, Südbahn near Vienna, December 20 2009

A sunny Sunday on the Southern Railway near Vienna, with some chaos due to the low temperatures. Ironically all of the new connections from the Czech Republic or Poland down to Wiener Neustadt and further to Villach were mostly more punctual than trains starting in Vienna itself. Sadly strong, ice-cold winds and the fact that snow didn't fall until morning didn't leave too much white near the tracks, but there still were great effects to be observed. The second half features "Stormblast" by Dimmu Borgir, my apologies to all non-fans of Norwegian Metal, but this just expresses the mood of standing in the ice-cold wind best (and covers some of the wind noise)! ;-)
Happy holidays to all YouTube Users! :-)

I admire that you had the courage to face the -10 grade coldness...good job!

PS: do you know a place\site where I could find the signaling instruction from your country translated in english ?

Thank you...and Happy Christmas Holidays!
