You might think if the rails are covered with snow the trains can’t move on them? You were lying yourself!

Especially the Canadian trains, they can move really fast pushing the snow and causing small snowstorm on the way. And how is that possible?

We have mentioned many times before, and we will continue doing that, never underestimate the diesel power, yeah, pure diesel power.

Most of the trains in Canada, as well as the one in the video are diesel powered and you can notice the Canadian National Railway locomotive 2304 pulling the wagons from behind, it’s astonishing. This train was filmed at the village of Salisbury in New Brunswick, Canada.

You want to know some details about the engine inside the locomotive? V16 turbocharged two strokes diesel engine with 3.200 horsepower (prime mover), the prime generator through the electricity cabinet delivers high voltage to the 4 electric motors, each one powering a pair of wheels. An impressive fact is also the maximum speed that this engine can reach, 177 km/h, yeah with tons of load behind.

So snow squalls, watch out for the mighty train is coming to ruin the smooth surface you’ve created last time you were falling, and don’t worry, it isn’t scared of the near future forecast (more snow on the way), it will just continue doing its routine job, pulling wagons and pushing the snow from the rails.
