The video shows the train approaching a railway crossing, but before doing so, it disappears behind a veil of snow. There was a snowbank near the road, and the train goes right through it, resulting in the camera being covered with snow.
The video, which is three minutes and eight seconds long, was shot in Salisbury New Brunswick, where a full week’s worth of snow had fallen.
The video was uploaded by a man name Darren, username Containerman2 on YouTube, and he wrote that he wasn’t sure how the crew on the train could even see with all of the snow that was on the train’s nose.
Since being posted, the video has gotten more than four-million views, 10,000+ thumbs ups and more than 800 comments. Darren has numerous videos of trains that he has uploaded to his channel, but so far, this is video is the most popular one.
New Brunswick has been hammered by three heavy blizzards over the course of a week, which has lead disruption to the roads.
