Incredible.  When do we get to hear the story/details of your camera placement in shots 1 + 2?
Dying to know...

The Tunnel 35 portal has a bit of snowshed (more of an awning, I guess) on it.  I climbed up alongside the portal, between it and the stone cliffside, and took the shot from outside the shed looking in.  I couldn't actually look though the camera (and it doesn't have one of those tilting LCD screens) so I used the "motor drive" and gave it a burst when the train arrived.

Here's the shot in B&W  (I like it better)
