If you remember in wich period you found it, try to use the "internet history" function on your browser (Ctrl+H) and then check the youtube videos listed there starting from the last you watched.

 

Also, please, provide a much details as you can (such as location, rolling stock involved, setting, era/period...), your description of the video is too generic.

I was watching some videos of japanese railways in the snow yesterday as well, what a coincidence.  They are indeed very peaceful.  

 

Here is a short documentary about how JNR dealt with the snow back in the day, its marvelous that people preserved this footage so we can look back and see what life was like back then.

It's heated water.  You see this in Honshu on the Japan Sea side and some inland areas where the temps don't go much below zero and the snow is wet and heavy.  They don't do this up in Hokkaido where it's much colder and the water would just melt the snow a bit and then freeze, making a mess.
