I think the snow just needs brightening up a bit. The camera's meter may have been fooled by the bright scene and under exposed by one or two stops. Increasing the exposure slightly in PS produces a whiter looking snow.
A good use of the rails to show perspective.
Alan.
Well worth going out for, and well done to you for this capture. good DOF, WELL COMPOSED.

Firstly - great image! (Initially caught my eye as I was snapping railway lines in the snow a couple of weeks ago.)
My mod:
As mentioned elsewhere, the image seemed a little underexposed - so I increased exposure.
The bridge area was slightly in shade... as the eye is led to this point I increased brightness in this area too.
Also darkened the sky and the immediate foreground slightly as this helps highlight the tracks leading up to the bridge.
Finally cropped some sky - I think this helps the composition as the image conforms more closely to the 'thirds' rule/guide.
Hope you find this useful
Regards -- Steve
