I talked to the conductor before getting on the train and he gave me the tip 
to a) walk to the car next to the locomotive so that on the ride up you have 
the best view of the tail back.
Then when the loco shifts to the other end of the train you are in the last 
car on the way day. He also said that since the car is farther away fewer 
people will walk to it. He was right - there were fewer than 10 people in 
the front car.

Here's the conductor supervising the changeover at the top of the pass;

Here is the loco moving from our front to the new front of the train:

The weather at the top was much colder and mistier than on the other side of 
the tunnel:

And here we are thundering along between walls of snow:

Now looking out the platform from the rear car the tracks took on a surreal 
form:

That's all for this time. There will be a few more people pictures in the
