I cry BS. They never cleared the snow from the tracks is my opinion. Big push to blame someone other than the railway. Also makes a BOLD statement to not allow snowmobiling any where but marked trails... OMG i would sell my sleds if that was the case. Ok you can ride on this groomed trail and at 30 mph . Oh and we will have police out writing tickets should you try and have any fun!!!
UHM NOT . See that meadow i,m gonna carve it up, see that mountain i,m gonna climb it!!!!

Not likely. Think of how much worse crossings at roads are from vehicles, and they don't even bother engines one bit. Obviously some people who don't know WTF they are talking about. Unless they are doing something to switches, they are not the cause. A engine will cut through glare ice and snow no problem, it will take a LOT to lift it.

Looked to me more like wind drifts that were allowed to build up. I signed up and posted what the bears do in the woods!

Pop a wheel out in a crossing full of ice is possible if it's an empty car a locomotive I doubt. To blame snowmobiles is absolute crap.

BS, 100 ton train vs 2 inches of packed snow? Sounds like another conspiracy by the suits to stop us "renegade snowmobilers"
