Snow and Steam. Snow and Steam This illustration was commissioned by Network Rail’s

Route Enhancement Team, at York, England, for their 2008 Christmas Card.

The scene is set in the Winter of 1949, just prior to the original North-Eastern-Railway Semaphore Signalling being replaced by Colour Light Signalling. Heavy snow has fallen but, as is

the proud tradition of the Railways, it has been cleared from vital areas.
