Steam in the Snow: Dollywood Express December 2010

On my way to Dollywood to test out my new HD camcorder I got for Christmas, I was pleasantly surprised to find that much of the snow up in the mountains had yet to melt. Seeing #70 steaming uphill through the snow was an amazing sight, and the camera preformed flawlessly despite the below-freezing temperatures. So, why are you reading this and not watching the video?

Amazing footage. Love the whistle they have on #70! The train wasn't having any problems up the hill or with frozen track?

@Thunderhead925 Thanks! And no, they weren't having any problems with the track being frozen, they cleared the snow of it the day before.

now that looks cool to see a steam locomotive running in the snow kinda reminds you of polar express
