      Nice capture Hugh, looks like the train has smashed through a wall of snow.

      Thanks Russ, it was quite a storm on the east coast, I've just had a few days in Greymouth and was pleased to miss it. Home now and Roxburgh has snow all around, bloody cold!

      Great capture! It's a rare event when the train cannot get through

      We heard a vague mention of heavy snow in NZ, but (as usual) no follow up. It's fairly cold here (for mid-summer) but nowhere near as cold as that!

      Yes it was a pretty extraordinary event for New Zealand. Here is a photo from my Brother in laws page.
