Amtrak Train Blasts Waiting Commuters With Snow

Written by Teunis Felter

Amtrak commuters waiting to get to Penn Station from Rhinecliff Wednesday morning likely never imagined just how huge a wave of snow an approaching train could kick up.  But in a video posted online Wednesday, it was obvious the avalanche was coming.  The giant snow shower covered commuters standing on the Rhinecliff station platform Wednesday morning. The man who shot the video above, Craig Oleszewski, told News 4 it appeared the train overshot the platform by a bit.  Another witness said some people were knocked to the ground.  The train appeared to be going at regular speed in order to clear the snow off the track.
