Experience the magic of winter railroading in this scenic railfan video filmed in **Chesterton, Indiana**, right on the edge of **Indiana Dunes National Park**. This was the *first snowfall of the year*, and the fresh powder made for some incredible shots as trains blasted through, kicking up clouds of snow.

Watch stunning passes from *Norfolk Southern**, **BNSF**, and **Amtrak* as they roll through the snow-covered landscape. Early in the video, you’ll see locomotives plowing through light, freshly fallen snow, creating dramatic snow bursts with every wheel turn. Toward the end, the weather intensifies with **heavy lake-effect snowfall**, adding an atmospheric, almost cinematic feel to the passing freights and passenger trains.

Whether you’re a railfan, a snowstorm enthusiast, or just someone who loves peaceful winter scenery, this video delivers a perfect mix of action and aesthetic.
