Incredible, an I.C.E. functioning at sub-zero temperatures.
And losing neither wheels nor doors? It would be easier to get a picture of a tasmanian tiger!
A Christmas wonder???

That joke is excellent.As I am interested in railway tech and also read some articles others don't I can tell you that (links are in German, as they were easier to find for me):
If you want an ICE from Siemens (Velaro platform) working at extreme temperatures, just define the operation specification properly, do so with all other vendors to get fair offerings and don't be surprised that more function costs more.
For example look at the "Velaro RUS" called "Sapsan" that is capable of unrestricted operation up to an outside temperature of -40 °C, safety-relevant systems up to -50 °C. The wiki article tells different but AFAIK the max. temp should be +40 °C, not only +32°C as the German 407.
And then during operation, don't act as the German DB did and persuade Siemens to allow doubling (!) the inspection intervals to safe money at the expense of reliability.

That's really some amount of snow and winter. Wonderful mood and light.
To get something like that, I'd need to go at least to Central German Uplands if not the Alps.
Great work.
