Bascially follows the railroad crews during the week up until the disaster. The plot is basically true, with some liberty taken in dialogue. http://www.amazon.com/Vis-Major-Railroad-God-White-Wellington/dp/1440161798/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1263181444&sr=8-1 Might I suggest Vis Major by Martin Burwash for a semi fictional telling of the Wellington Disaster.

I've visited the site and it appears they put up snowsheds as a stop-gap measure, but ultimately they ended up building a huge tunnel (8 miles?) to avoid all of the avalanche terrain.
