What do you do when you drive a train that has around 4,400 horsepower and the tracks are covered with snow drifts? You just do a little drift busting!
Canada has been feeling the blast of winter recently with a few blizzards moving through southern New Brunswick in less than a week according to containerman2 on YouTube. That put all kinds of snow on the ground for travelers to deal with, even train engineers.
The viral video below was posted to YouTube and has racked up over 2 million views in just a few days. Canadian National Railway locomotive 2304 is seen in the video plowing through snow drifts across the tracks and blasting the videographer with a massive amount of snow when it reached the roadside snow piles made by snowplows.
I don’t know about you, but that looks like it would be fun to do to me!
