We think it is something to move water too. Thanks for the in put Dave!

The design reminds me of irrigation flumes I've seen in eastern Washington. While there are snowsheds in the Sierra Nevada, I think this is not one for the following reasons (slap me if I'm wrong!): 1) Snow sheds usually don't need side walls, but a water transportation system does; 2) Snow sheds along hillsides usually have smooth, slanted tops to allow the snow to slide off, relieving the structure of the weight of the snow; 3) The size of the trees and bushes suggests that this is not tall enough to contain a train; 4) The supporting timbers seem too insignificant to support the weight of a train.

Its a snow roof that keeps snow off the train tracks. Without it, the snow gets too deep
and the track becomes impassable...
