I'm not even sure how many locomotives this train had ...
Railfanning Post Blizzard of 2015 Storm #3.
Canadian National Railway locomotive 2304 (ES44DC) plows through huge snow drifts and gives me a big ass snow shower as it leads the daily CN manifest train 406 West (Moncton, NB to Saint John, NB) at Salisbury, New Brunswick.
I'm not sure how the train crew can even see with all that snow on the locomotive's nose!
Southern New Brunswick was hit with three major blizzards in less than a week, and there is more snow in the forecast.
Filmed at 3:05pm, Tuesday February 3, 2015 at mile 11 of the CN Sussex Subdivision.
Camera: Canon VIXIA HF R500

How can people not like this? This is 100% pure action with snow and trains.
Yeah, this is the best action there can be. Snow and trains. Even Rambo would nod his head in shame.
Snowmen don't like it.
justin beiber fans!!!!
I love it so much it gives me goooooose bumps.
Snowflakes
Imagine being in the middle of nowhere, and suddenly you see 00:32 this coming straight at you (without knowing what it is)
Scott Jack
I would run the hell outta there lol
Especially if you were deaf and couldn't hear what it was ...
Lol.
Tremors in the Antarctica
😂😂😂😂 will scare dead me
Total respect to the cameraman who braved these harsh conditions for our entertainment.
Legend has it the snow man is still standing at the railroad crossing.
@@jantjarks7946 lol..good one🤣..but we definitely get lots of snow in these parts of New Brunswick
Here in the UK, that would shut the entire country's train network down for months while they figure out what "type" of snow it is, decide how to remove it, a few months of train drivers on strike because the tracks are still slightly moist, a judge led inquiry as to how the snow got there in the first place then the health and safety executive to determine whether it's safe to use... Then another strike because the drivers seat is a bit too low.
And then there's more snow
And we all wonder why the UK economy is on the slide, corruption. We all wonder why the UK economy is on the slide, stupidity. I would never be allowed to run the country, because i would not be allowed to run trains in snow, cut red tape,( i am sure i saw some of that tape on the west coast main line at Tamworth the other day) restart conscription and bring back the death penalty.
Hello from 🇬🇧 agree 100% train drivers union far too strong but their wages have kept up with inflation 30 £ an hour .Tesco per hour 16 hours a week for 1 parent families /rest of the state
Yoda on DMT Aye, Yoda! And 4 years down the LINE, nothing has changed for the better. And one wonders why the UK economy has gone to Hell in a handcart.
Things have got so bad, UK citizens win a vote for something, and the losers of that vote do everything in their power to not honour that vote - goodbye democracy, regardless of which side you’re on!
The Police will no longer attend to burglaries at your home. Some won’t even bother if you have the burglars in plain sight. No investigation will take place. Shoplifters have been given Carte Blanche on account of “if the cost of the goods are below £100, they can’t be bothered to attend and / or prosecute.
Nuggets in the street are having a field day - they now use stolen mopeds and almost always get away with it.
It’s dystopian and very depressing.
The present Mayor of London “Khan”.....has said on record in response to growing violence and knife crime in the UK - and I quote;
“It is part and parcel of living in London.....”
I rest my case. Hell in a handcart it is then!! 😞
Only you can start unfkng your country
Imagine turning your head right as the train is completely hidden by snow. Just seeing this giant snow storm barreling towards you. Awesome video
i was in an avalanche one time and this brought back my ptsd.
And then not only do we justget the engine plowing snow and the nice horn pattern but we get to see a long line of freight cars after
The noise will give it away long before.
Ummm . No that can get someone killed!!!
It is an awesome vid.
I’m 70 years old and have never seen such a beautiful sight as this! It’s absolutely amazing! 🥰🇨🇦
In Germany, we have some of the most advanced trains and rail system in the world, with all kinds of high tech stuff. We got bullet trains reaching up to over 200mph. We got one of the best safety record (just like Canada) for rail vehicles. Yet, in Germany trains are running late because of a tiny bit of snow or ice. If there was as much snow on rails just like in this video, absolutely NO train would run at all.
Good job Canadians. Snow ain't no barrier.
Л.С. Мото canada is not a country with almost supersonic train only cargo train (the beast you saw it in the video)
What would the police do if drivers crossed as train a train was approaching ??
Pick up the teeny tiny pieces
Doreen Kilfoil sounds about right. Here in the US some places display the worst wrecks on business property corners hoping to teach a lesson 😏
Л.С. Мото That’s also true in the UK. No train would run, passenger or freight, in snow like that. Well done Canada!
Dashing through the snow, on CN train 406. Over the tracks we go, sanding all the way. Bell on the locomotives ring, making people stop. Oh what fun it is to drive a train on CN tracks tonight hey!
CrazyPilot757 Mine is better.
CrazyPilot757 Epic! XD
Great song!!! 😃👍🎶😊🎵
Excellent!
@keepnitreel 4me u forgot the excessive curse words..... yknow bc its nb
Never in my whole life of 76 years have I ever seen a video as great as this! Totally EPIC!
I can’t even put it into words the greatness of this capture of a one in many million photos! Congratulations whoever did this!
This is epic, but I definitely recommend watching big wave surfing at Nazarien. I apologize for my ignorance of proper spelling. It's a spot in Portugal. Absolutely insane footage.
Edit: Nazare, Portugal.
Go watch a video of Amish barn moving. They will literally pickup a barn and move it just with manpower. Makes you wonder if it was that simple of an idea building the pyramids.
A lot of train cars
76-year-olds don't use words like "totally" with other adjectives. That's what Valley Girls do.
Wow! That IS pretty EPIC! AT first I was surprised that the train could push that much snow out of the way, but then I saw how long it was and the weight behind the locomotive must have been tremendous. That train just plowed on through! Amazing! Great vid!
I am genuinely in awe at this remarkable, astonishing video!
Never before have I seen anything quite as amazing as this! The train was wholly unrecognisable amidst a swirling deluge of snow!
Thank you for this most memorable video! Subscribed!
As someone who's stood too close to a road when a snowplow went by, I feel ya 🤣
Canadians be like:
Don't worry! Just a lil bit of snow here and there!
BLU lol
Ur comment made me laugh for 10 min.😂😂
One time it was 4 feet of snow
Its always 4 ft of snow up here and some days we would get 6 ft and the trains running from Souix lookout. would be like a big white bomb.. 60 mph and running blind.
Hehe that's true, they generally get a lot of snow.
Dashing through the snow, on a one engine open freight
Over the tracks we go, hauling all the weight!
Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho(i think i got the number correct)😀
Yes I sang this
I could not read it, without singing :-)
@@stevenshewfelt888 I sang it too, lol! 😂
Ahem
Brrrrrr
Lol . In the UK a few leaves on the line shut down the whole shebang. And an inch of snow shuts down the entire road network We are pathetic ! Great vid !
You said it not us Americans hahaha
This is STILL EPIC, after 5 1/2 years!!!! If I was there for the first time and saw that, I would have thought "Derailment!!!" and run like hell.
That was pretty neat! If I was the engineer, I'd be freaked out when I couldn't see anything due to the snow flying up for an extended period of time like that! 🙏
That's why you're not a train engineer. SIMP.
driver? pilot? ...
You're on a track, and nothing is supposed to be in your way.... Easy job.
@@starmc26 important correction: "supposed" does not mean it cannot ocure!
@@Tired_Night_Owl_in_the_Woods And if it does acure you"ll never know it. They'll find it in the spring when the snow melts.
Could not believe how long this train was! Canada does things on another level.
Precision Scheduled Railroading.All railroads except BNSF are doing it.
@@gregoryhainsworth2663 Not sure what you mean. My husband just retired from BNSF after 25 years. He used to say the trains were getting longer. CP trains cross the back of our yard, on a shared UP track. Those are some very long trains-four to five locomotives in the front, one in the center and sometimes two on the end, climbing to Sandpoint and north from there. I’d never stand that close to a locomotive especially on a snowy track but awesome video!
For as far back as I can remember, whenever we had to wait for a train, we turned off the engine and either pulled out something to read whilst we waited, or counted carriages.
The longest train I ever had to wait for had 235 carriages, six locomotives front back and centre, and a caboose.
One of the longest trains I have ever seen!! Awesome footage - thank you.
Canada got pretty long trains because of being 2nd biggest country and big cities so far from one another.
Well, 406 is the only eastbound manifest that operates between Moncton (Gordon Yard) & Saint John on the Sussex Sub, along with its westbound counterpart 405. The only other train that operates over this subdivision is B730, the once weekly or so unit potash train coming from Saskatchewan.
Haha I know right! Yes incredible!
I think I saw two engines one in front and another somewhere in between.
That was long? Yeah, right!
Why do I find this so satisfying to watch? If I lived there I'd be in my truck waiting for it 👍🥰
Because it's awesome!
That's way cooler than I expected. Thanks for sharing.
Well i thought it was more colder than expected ⛄ 🚄
Bro, you almost got buried alive by that train avalanche !
LoL
Only thing missing was Jon Voight standing on top of the train
runaway train
Mannyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!
"Runaway Train" was good. Fierce, unstoppable, and looking like something out of Hell's nightmares.🚆🛤️ Could not see this train until it was on top of the crossing.
WHOOSHHH!! That must have been a thrill for the crew.
I get it
That is a great shot! I'm surprised trains like this don't get derailed by snow!
Dang Son, I'm setting here next to my woodstove trying to keep warm but when that locomotive busted through that snow, it almost put my fire out! Great video, thanks for sharing!
:49 the conductor is like "Sure hope no one is on the tracks...can't see shit" XD
bassplaya1549 pretty sure he couldn't see shit b4 that.lol
With 100 or so cars it wouldn't have mattered much anyway.
No Kidding , great vid!!🙄
💩WHO ME ?
it's how we drive too...
That was amazing snow footage! And I'm even more amazed at how long that train is!😀
Yeah, CN likes their trains loooooooooong. Like 13-15,000 feet long.
Never see anything like it in the UK.... so much snow and the train length ! Sure beats the cargo being on the roads in lorries .
@@T1M6 Well, I mean, it goes from a train to trucks to be delivered to the local stops.
@@CMDRFandragon That kind of stuff would probably be in containers. This is all bulk traffic destined for industry.
In the UK we get leaves on the line and we grind to a halt
That can happen here too, but we simply add more engines, and if it's really bad, operate at a restricted speed.
Wouldn't be a bad idea to include a brush located just before the sander, so it can brush off leaves.
Canada is controling maine from ervin gas tocanadian r.r. least you still have a home.
Why would a crossing answer to a snow avalanche
We ARE amused.
There seems to be a definite difference between the UK and its former colonies besides the obvious.
Here in The Netherlands the trains get stuck on a few fallen leaves but not in Canada!! I'm not joking!
Franco Dentfree-eu - you suffer from that too? I thought it was only in Britain that this happened.
Leafs turn into oil, snow into water, dus dan weet je dat ook weer.
The Dutch railway system is a freaking joke.... Leaves on the tracks, they have a solution for it and I still have to count on +15 minutes waiting time. Frost and/or snow? Total disaster.
In Germany, one leaf is enough. All trains will be stopped.
This is obviously the right type of snow...
Found this in 2024…so beautiful!! Thank you ❤️🇺🇸
The amount of snow we've had this year, makes me think I need one of these for
my driveway.
It'd be just $600K, sweetie. JL
I took the train from toronto to halifax last year, very interesting experience! Here in britain, half an inch of snow means DISASTER!
here in britain its leaves on the track mostly..its sad to say
And in Germany, 2.5 snowflakes on the rails are enough to shut down the entire nationwide train service for several days.
I have seen trains busting through snow before but this is probably the most spectacular one I've seen. Excellent work keeping the camera on it as the monstrous CN freight destroys the snow banks. 😁👍
One in a million catch. Absolutely stunning. Well done.
This makes me proud to be Canadian.
HabsFan123 Isnt that considered racist in Canada?
according to some, yes.
Same sk gere
Ты еще в России небыл ;)
Same here.
My son loves trains... this made his day
Sure beats shoveling.
There are plenty of videos of trains plowing through snow...... then there's this one. The one. The best. Thanks for sharing.
This would scare the shit out of someone if they didn't knew there was train behind the snow storm.
Yeah! The snow monster is coming to get you!
As a train conductor, I think that would be an absolute blast to do. I work for UP down in the Sunset division though in Texas, so sandstorms and white out flash floods are what I gotta be careful for.
That made my whole year better
That was pretty freaking amazing!!!!
That finger came out of nowhere!!!!☝️
it was attached to the cameraman
Something so exhilarating watching the epic power of the big locomotives and the beautiful vigin snow!
I have lived next to a 2 track main line railroad in the Northeast for 45 years and I have never seen anything so awesome in my life
Based on my calculations, this train was averaging roughly 0.96 wagon per second, so that train was roughly 119 cars long if we include the locomotive. It looked to me like it was mostly tank cars.
With the current COVID-19 lock down, this make me a bit homesick. This crossing is just 2.5 hours from where I grew up. Note that snow is something we are used to in Canada. Personally, I have always had a love-hate relationship with snow. If I am having to drive through a snow storm, shovel the driveway, or having to pull out of a driveway when the street view is totally blocked by snow banks that are more than 6 foot tall (1.8 m), I don't like snow. But if I am watching snow fall from the comfort of home, skying, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, or watching a snow plow or train cutting a path through the snow, it is actually quite pleasant.
The first day of spring was March 19, but on April 19 there is still snow on the ground that hasn't melted according to my mom.
I don’t have a CN employee timetable right in front of me right now, but I believe the max timetable speed on the Sussex Sub is either 40 or 45mph, IIRC. I remember this from looking at the CN timetable a while back.
that was just great !!!
:)

@Pierre Lucas good idea :)
@Pierre Lucas *code
I miss the trains that used to come through my town (ontario). This would be something we enjoyed watching them plow through the snow. We Havnt had our tracks up and running in years. This is great footage.
A year later its still an awesome video !!
Awesome Video! Camera man took it like a champ!!
The finger cleaning the lens got me for some reason lool 😭😭😂😂😂
Hi Salisbury, hello from Siberia. You rock.
This was one of the videos that I enjoy watching a train plowing through snow. Nice video.
I think I've watched this every year! AWESOME!
Absolutely awesome catch ! :)
How many people
I see u everywhere
@@vsolou Then you must be everywhere too :)
I think he's the longest train ever
God Bless Trains ! !
Here in Australia it gets so hot the rails buckle and the rails go all sideways and curve causing major derailments. In Canada its all fucking snow. Awesome catch.
Better snow than gravel! I love to ride trains! I remember once a train stopped, and we were wondering why till we were told that a HUGE tornado crossed the track in front of us! THANK GOD for using our Engineer's hands and mind! HALLELUJAH!
Mother Nature- snow's too deep"
Train-" Hold my beer"🤣🤣🚂
I've watched this twice now, simply amazing !, that engineer can't even see through all that snow even after he plows through, the windshield is covered !. Pretty neat stuff *S*. thanks for sharing !,
The trains that have to use rotary plows to get through the Donner Pass are incredible. They're definitely worth watching, too.
This is the coolest video I have seen In a while! Awesome catch bro!
Thanks
+containerman2 I still love this . Short version on my timeline , so going to add this 3 min . one .
Now that was awsome!! For once a youtube video worth watching.
I watch this video every year right at this time.
It is soooo cool !!!
Never thought much about trains traveling in such inclement weather. Fascinating to see.
Psh, snow like that is a normal winter day here in Canada.
canada has balls to plow through that! nice job
There's just something about the sound of a train in the quiet snow that makes me think of Christmas 🎄❄
Yes, so true!
That was amazing! And with all due respect to my Canadian neighbors, thank God I live in Florida, USA. :-)
+MrCzechers And with all do respect. I am glad Florida is on the opposite side of the country from us! XD
+MrCzechers Alligators ,Muggy weather, seniors walking the streets , huge roaches (not the canadian type) 15 foot long snakes in your toiilet ,tolls every 5 feet plus George Zimmerman still has his gun ....ya i think i stay in canada thxs :)
think about this ...(George Zimmerman was a'good guy with a gun' is that really the gun law you want passed in the usa ? give all the 'good guys a gun? , scarry ...i see it now cut someone off they finger you ,you shoot back after all you were threatened !)
+kinghoho2 Why bring politics into a video about a train?
Because trains are politics. Canada and America were both heavily influenced by the rails, in their formative years. The men building those rails held a lot of sway (or positioned themselves to have more) with the politics of the time. I would wager that it is a safe bet to say that the big rail companies still have their hands in big politics.
Though the politics of gun laws being connected to trains is beyond my scope.
I can’t stand the seniors who live down here.
COOL! :)
I've ridden on Via Rail when it must've been somethong like this - the way the snow would come flying up to the windows on the dome car..... ! :)
AMAZING/INTERESTING how they can blast through the snow! :)
VIA RAIL is a NICE WAY TO TRAVEL! 😃
Wow, that's some engine pulling that lot behind. I've never seen such a long train as that. Tremendous film
I love how you can't even see the train as some parts because it's just a huge plume of snow.
holy shit that's a long train
+Nina Williams
it is an oil carrier
Not really CN railway can have trains up to 14000 ft long now!
+Nina Williams Normal is 100 cars
not really quite Normal actually, trains get a lot bigger in the area
+Nina Williams I don't know where you live, but in Canada this is pretty normal. As the others mentioned, it's common for trains here to be well over 100 cars long.
I witness this when we were on a back road in New Mexico. The main road was closed so we took this road to get us our destination. Snowing like crazy, no sign of life, driving 25 miles an hour trying to see the road. There was a lump along the edge to show where the road ended. Had to stop and clean off the headlights. I thought we would get stranded and be found when the spring thaw came. Seeing the train blowing the snow out of the way like that was amazing. The trip to Phoenix ended up by going south and coming up from Tucson. All main roads north were closed.
Lovely. Cheers for sharing mate 🍻🍻
Yep. Welcome to Canada.
WOW! What a great video! I was shocked that the train didn't skip the track. And you were standing in the snow's path too. Super cool when you dusted snow off your lens. BRAVO!
Train: look how much powder I blew through!!!
Charlie Sheen: hold my mirror.
Wow i have never seen anything like this before 🤗
Enjoyed the video
Love from India 😍
My Dad was a train man and he would have loved this capture, so I am watching it thinking of him! Great footage!
In Canada, the trains just have to get through, no matter the snow conditions. :) Awesome bit of Railfanning video by containerman2 on TH-cam.
That train was so long, it was at two stations at the same time! Also, I never saw the Tardis, even though I could hear it. :(
I know right
I personally never have seen a train in my life but this one i had a thought that's really long
Trains like this in eastern Canada can be up to 200 wagons long (14000 feet or 4.26 km long). Where I live i often see 150- 200 wagon trains so about 10000 to 14000 feet or about 3.2 to 4.26 km in length.
This isn't very long. Because it travels very slow, it seems long.
Thank you so much that was a thrilling video 🙈😸🌞
Someone should show this video to the german train company...
This is the most "meanwhile in Canada" thing I've ever seen.
Here in the UK we get 2 flakes of snow and the whole country comes to a stand still ......awesome video
CANADA! FK YEAH!
The people's socialist republic of Canada I think it's now known as.
I love how it briefly emerges from the snow cyclone just before the level crossing. And when WOOOSH! Cameraman becomes snowman.
And in the UK London comes to a standstill when we have 2 inches of snow.
2 inches, far less than that. A sprinkling of snow or a few leaves grind all to a halt here in UK. Pathetic.
@PJ Scotland no, I pay enough tax as it is. Snow wouldn't be an issue for me in any case as I have a Nissan Patrol!
How nice it kicks snow out of the track!
Wow 😳! Incredible recording .. in PHX AZ,. Rarely-never enjoy ❄️🌨️ snow ,. Loved this. ❤️🚂
Engineer : "Last night, I saw the movie "Snowpiercer". Wanna see it in real life ? Hold my beer."
Красиво пролетел, такой длинный состав! Аж дух захватывает!
Yes, we come through this no matter what stood on our way, we go through, the light goes through! ❤️
Kicked In The Head By Snow. Sequel to Kicked In the Head By Train.

4400 horsepower on each locomotive, actually
You know the train driver was loving that!
Don’t you hate to see the snow plow coming down the street after you just finished shoveling the driveway!
Love Canadian National Railway!

Definately an epic catch!! Thanks for sharing! :-)
Absolutely Epic video. Lucky you to see that in person. Tks for sharing.🥰👍
Thats Canada for you folks. :)
OK this looks super fun.
Where I live there is no snow! What great photography! I can I just imagine how cold it is! Thanks
