Snow plough in action...

Driver's eye view exiting the tunnel into the drifts...

2091.03 does sterling work battling through heavy snow with the plough. The plough is capable of clearing snow to a depth of 6" or 7", as it has done today. The loco is battery powered and heavy, although repeated ramming of the drifts was very necessary!
I don't think that there will be many passengers today...

Clearing the way...

But the fuel oil train managed to get through in the end.
