Interesting. It looked like the train from the previously highlighted video. The two gondola's , in a position near the end of the train and a bay windowed caboose with a SP helper, were a heads up to me.

Yes it was the same train less than a hour later further up the hill - big difference in snow accumulation between Applegate and Alta.

That snow really threw me. I thought that it was another time and place. Couldn't understand how a train could stay in the same order over an 'extended' period of time.
