Several parts of eastern Canada have been slammed with truly crazy amounts of snow — but not enough for the freight trains to stop running. In fact, these locomotives are working quite nicely as heavy-duty snow plows.
Earlier this month, a video of one such formidable freight train circulated because it was just weirdly mesmerizing to watch. Now, a new video of a train boldly taking on the snow has emerged, and it’s equally impressive. It was captured along the Ontario Southland Railway line between the towns of Salford and St. Thomas, CBC News reports. (Yes, it’s a designated plow car, but still.)
Watch as the residual snow literally knocks a man to his feet and then just totally buries him.
