Amtrak train becomes a real-life Snowpiercer, sans cannibalism

Trains are an underappreciated way to travel. Hop aboard an Amtrak, and you’ll get scenic views, comparatively spacious seats, and even a cafe car if you’re feeling hungry and/or want to reenact that one scene from White Christmas. But the downside of Amtrak travel, apparently, is that the train might just spray a group of waiting people with a giant sheet of snow as it pulls into the station for the first time since Winter Storm Stella blanketed the East Coast. In other words, this Amtrak train basically became the train from Snowpiercer (minus the horrific social inequality and people who have to survive on less-than-appetizing protein blocks). And Nick Colvin was there to capture the whole, glorious thing in slow motion.
