Now here comes a train that not only thinks it can, it knows that it can. In a YouTube video posted on Tuesday, a guy braving the cold and waiting for trains to go by captured a rare and awe-inspiring locomotive moment that soon went viral.

The three-minute-and-eight-second-long video of a Red Canadian Railway train blasting through a full week’s worth of snow in Salisbury, New Brunswick shows scattering snow looking like a battle between human ingenuity and the unfeeling elements of nature.

Most countries that are dealing with a heavy snowfall typically deal with the weather problem by setting up safeguarding delays and making general travel impossible.

Our neighbors to the north, however, are a sturdier lot than most and are not phased by severe snow conditions. Whenever there is an overpowering amount of snow building up around the tracks, Canada deals with this problem by simply having their trains plow through the thick white barriers like it is no big deal.

The cameraman who was in the right place at the right time is known as "containerman2" on YouTube, and at some point he had to wipe his lens from the spray of snow to keep capturing the event.

The fellow was filming the track between that Moncton, New Brunswick, and Salisbury, New Brunswick, when the Canadian National Railway Locomotive 2304 powered through the blockade of snow resulting in a spectacular kind of explosive air display.

According to The Independent, who cites Canadian local reports, New Brunswick has had to endure three heavy blizzards just in the last week, and this terrible weather has resulted in a major disruption to the region’s roads.

Though the railways seem to be doing just fine, officials issued a state of emergency warning to residents of the area on Tuesday. People were cautioned to refrain from driving, and a week-long parking ban was put in place on certain roads singled out as too dangerous.
