Well I couldn't find the posts on the Snow Train, so I started a new thread to show the movies I found....

There was a short show with them on TV out of Fairbanks tonight and showed some of these clips. The snow Trains only made two trips over two years, the second one was when one of them crashed and burned the main engine assembly. There was two or more of the Trains that went on the trips, but it came up short after the accident. The other engine is in Fairbanks off Badger Road....


This is the site for finding the different movies in Alaska's history

These are the videos of the Snow train in action, some with sound. If you can't open them, you may need to get the free updates to do that. It should promp you.

I guess I posted what is already in the "BIGGEST SNOW MACHINE EVER BUILT!" thread. It was kind of late last night when I came accross the videos and wanted to get them on here before I fell asleep and forgot what I was doing....

Sorry about that, anyway hope you guys enjoy them for a second time then... :)
