Snow as high as an elephant's ear, or something like that! The most snow in more than 30 years and the passengers of the westbound Empire Builder are getting a close up view.

This was a snow shoe trip with Ross Fotheringham, a little more than a half mile for this shot. From snow to sunset, click Here for a shot of Amtrak along the Puget Sound.
