Is it me or is there a ton of snow around at the moment? The UK, Europe, and America all seem to be getting more than their fair share, which made for an interesting Christmas and New Year.

However, for people who needed to travel over the festive period, it meant chaos and delays. Especially if the weather took the authorities by surprise.

We’ve all seen snow plow lorries doing their business on the major roads, but catching sight of a train snow plow in action isn’t as easy. But it is a lot more spectacular.

In this clip, it’s actually impossible to see the train beyond the curtain of snow. It isn’t until it’s gone past that we see it in all its glory. It’s amazing to see but I don’t fancy driving one of these trains – surely it’s scary to not be able to see the train line up ahead.
