Black River & Western's North Pole Steam in the Snow

There's something magical about seeing a steam locomotive running in the snow - especially if it's a holiday-themed train. The Black River & Western continued their North Pole Express trains from Flemington, NJ to Ringoes, NJ and return on Saturday, December 9, 2017 - with most trips powered by ALCO steam, 2-8-0 #60. Unlike past North Pole trips this winter, however, the day was a snow-filled one, for the first time this season. The white fluffy stuff, at times, was coming down in droves, and it made for an amazing sight - which I was glad to be there to capture.

Jersey Proud!.... nice

[@TrainChamber]

Beautiful! Can you open the windows in the coaches (If it were Summer)

[@Bigjimvideo]

Absolutely! I pretty much always do...

[@TrainChamber]

I Open them when i can because i can stick my camera out the window and take better video/photos

[@Bigjimvideo]

Makes sense! I do it for the breeze in decent weather, and to hear the engine better 😎

[@TrainChamber]

I did that when i went to Durango and Silverton, I could hear all the stack talk and whistle at each crossing!
