Here are a few Austrian pictures sent in to us by WTSS reader Ted Ford – courtesy of the Pinzgauer Lokalbahn

They were taken on the line around the Zell am See region in the past two weeks, and show what it has been like out there. Not completely at a standstill, as some media reports elsewhere might suggest. But it was a tough job clearing the line of 80cm snowfall or more. Good on them!
