We get a lot of snow in Manitoba, but this is the first time I've heard of a train getting stuck in a snow drift. Apparently the wind was blowing quite hard. See story: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/manitoba/story/2007/02/02/churchill-train.html

I never even realized that could happen. I guess anything really is possible though. It would of been neat to actually see a picture of it though--too bad the article didn't include one.

Well you people obviously never saw 'Murder on the Orient Express', because it got stuck in a snow bank!
