Snow has been a plague of biblical proportions here in Newfoundland when we had a railway. It was cheaper to cut through an area called the Gaff Topsails but the price was dealing with the snow.
A much better description than I could ever write can be found at this link. I would suspect that quite a few areas in Canada suffered from similar conditions.
How the Newfoundland Railway fought mountains of snow

Thought I had seen this picture of the Nickel Plate Road and the 58 Chev before...found it way back on page 30 #596 to be exact but it was not the same one as it turns out. Guess the guys at NPR liked 58 Chevrolets...
The first one
The second one I found...same engines I think

I think you are correct. At least the engine with ID 757 is the same

Look at the picture. The engineer is on the right side
