The fence on the left side is causing the drifts, doesn’t help with the fence on the right side of the tracks either. A snow fence farther out on the left side of the tracks in the pasture would help reduce the drifts and keep the snow where it does some good.
There's a vid here of a trolley on the green line doing exactly that. It goes as far as it can, then back a up a couple hundred yards and plows ahead another ten or twenty wards until stopped by the snow. Rinse and repeat. The surprising thing is that it was one of those horrid LRV's. I kept thinking it was going to fall apart, lol.
Why "too bad for the crew"? They will just back out and hit it again. Like they have done prior to the video. That's how you work drifted snow like that. A few more runs at the drift and they'll be through and on to the next drift. Just another day at work for the plow crew.
As a kid I’d try to run my Lionel train down the track after putting corn on it. Didn’t work until it was cleared from the railhead. I have no idea why I did that 50 years ago.
Tried this once while hauling 80,000lbs. Only 50 meters to go before wheels stopped turning. Waited a day to have them clear the road to continue commute. It drifted only 20 inches, and it was hard as concrete. Either that, I would have been driving a couple miles in reverse.
Train didn't get "stuck," jus stopped cause of spinning her wheels. Interested to see how the rest got cleared 🤔 I want to add that if he "runs at it" too fast he'll take the big risk of de-railing.
No, that locomotive is too heavy and the speed is too low to derail in this instant. The wheels are on cleared rails. The locomotive just powers out. They’ll just back up and hit it again. If you were backing empty rail cars over that spot, they would definitely derail as they are too light and nothing in front is clearing the snow away.
@@JOHNSMITH-dc6lr depends if it is perfectly level and zero Ice, then maybe… otherwise if one side of the plow encounters more resistance than the other side for any reason, it could derail.
More videos about Canada. The climate is similar to the Russian Federation. This year there was a little more snow in the Russian Federation and that’s it, collapse. In small towns, the snow inside the neighborhoods has not yet been removed. It’s scary to go outside; there’s been ice for two weeks now.
@@attrell Thank you. There is practically no information about Canada in the Russian Federation. How houses are built there, how roads are paved. How people live. We only have tourist sites. We have similar climatic zones with Canada. I would like more detailed information about Canada.
THAT is NOT a TRAIN. That is a dedicated engine vehicle to clear out the pathway. Sadly it uses a simple, old and not very efficient plow, instead of a modern blower that would chew thought the snow drift. You'd expect some 3rd world country to have such a plow, whereas a 1st world nation to use 1st world equipment
When a plow is operating within it's capability, a plow is a lot faster than a blower. This railroad operates exclusively in Saskatchewan, so it ain't like they have track winding through mountain passes and avalanche zones. Most of the time, it's just going to be clearing fairly shallow snow. This area has deep drifts because it goes from a fill to a cut and the cut drifts over. The occasions when there's too much snow for a plow to just sail on through like it normally does probably doesn't justify the additional expense of a blower.
Shelter belt? Lol. If you can even get a tree to grow maybe. But then it’ll just drift in harder because the snow won’t blow across the rail line if you did have trees there. It’s not a “no trees” problem. It’s a “too much snow” problem. Trees won’t fix that.

Looks like he has taken a couple of runs at it already just slowly working his way through.
I bet if it had 50 cars behind it it would have made it through the first time.
@@jakerazmataz852Yeah but if he did have 50 cars and didn't make it through then he would be stuck
@@jakerazmataz852or derailed and been in big trouble
Actually it's a she
That's cool if you know that then you would know if she was taking several passes at it .@@NJ-wb1cz
So cool seeing it from the air! Nice work !!
Glad you enjoyed it
@attrell so why didn't you make a winter coat for the drone. You cruel. Drones lives matter
Damnit! I wish we could see the completion! Looks like another train was working it from the other side.
Drone battery died due to cold
@@D-Z321 Dipwits like you always have to show up
So so beautiful. I love this. Not the train getting stuck. But what an amazing sight. Thanks for this! ❤️❤️
It isn’t stuck. They will back up and hit it again.
Its not stuck

Wow great view, there must be some major challenges for rail travel this year. Seems like snow is extra deep in many areas of the prairies.
ANd more just dropped on us last night!
What. They still get snow? This must be disinformation what with all the climate change going on. 🤣🤣
Was it really stuck? Definitely stopped but wouldn't he just have backed up and took another run at it? Would love to have seen more.
Yeah it’s not stuck.
Hes having a coffee break then he gets 15 mins to build a snowman before pushing another 10,000 cubic yards of snow
it did stuck. They had to call a tractor to let it free :)

Yeah it’s not the end of the world. Put the throttle to idle. Flip your reverser. Back up and hit it again.
@@oilersridersbluejays Dang, you play that game too?
And the snowdrift says “THIS IS CANADA!”
This is how i picture Canadians daily commute
Canadian train to snow drift: "sorrie! Just gotta move ya outta tha way here"
so polite :)

He'll be through on the next pass.
That's some deep a$$ snow right there.
It’s not stuck, that’s what it’s doing to remove the drift. It will back up and do it again and again.
Incredible video!
That was soooo cool. It’s like Snowpiercer in real life. Haha.
Get another run on it and you are clear to go. But it looks really mindboggling, over 2 meters of snow just almost in one sitting plowed away
Should have stayed longer filming. Doesn't look stuck to me. Just saying.
Battery died quickly!
It’s not stuck. It just lost power. All they have to do is back up and hit it again.
that’s what she said
@@bdawg8907😂
@@oilersridersbluejaysPlenty of power there. Not enough friction to apply it.
Looked like the Little Engine that COULDN’T!
Super cool! great catch Chris!
Glad you enjoyed it
All they needed was Chris Evans. He kept Snowpiercer going for years!
I hear the voice of Jeremy Clarkson screaming "SPEED AND POWERRRR!!!"
I could watch 20 minutes of this.
Nice catch. I subscribed to your channel as well!
Cool, thanks!
They ain’t stuck they just having fun
So they throw it in reverse and charge again?
How long does it take to reverse and get back far enough?
Yes they did. Sadly my drone battery died.
At the end of the video it's like a train saying I am done.
SnowPiercer comes to real life 🎉
"Нуу тупыыеее!"... Роторный снегоочиститель? Не, не слышали 🤣
Have anyone seen videos from Russia, they plow through the snowdrifts at 50-80 km per hour..
"Canadian Train, Doesn't Get Stuck In Snow Drift" Come on Chris, you know better!
Canadian Train is the strongest train in the world 😂😂❤❤
Wowza!! Really nicely captured.
Man I wish I could have seen the whole thing. That is oddly satisfying
I didn't know drone batteries die so fast in the frigid cold. Had to return. Maybe this winter I will get another chance.
This looks like itd be a lot of fun
Geez that should have been cleared ahead of train. Hats off to the driver.
That snow is no obstacle for a train
We had our snow for the year, it was all of two snowflakes deep. Totally disrupted our lives for the longest time, but was pretty.
I love how it stops there
Everloving by Moby. beautiful video.
Many thanks
Train didn't get "stuck," jus stopped cause of spinning her wheels. Interested to see how the rest got cleared 🤔
I want to add that if he "runs at it" too fast he'll take the big risk of de-railing.
Don't think it's really stuck. And it looks like snow was plowed coming from other direction up to about 50 feet from where this plow stops.
Seen a could videos of them just blasting through them, i guess this time there was just too much to blast through and not have a bigger problem.
That train is still sitting there today.
Very hypnotic
Amazing Capture!
Thank you very much!
Could that locomotive crash through that full speed without derail?
It might have derailed yes
@@attrell I'm asking can a locomotive smash at that height full speed clearing the snow or no?
No, that locomotive is too heavy and the speed is too low to derail in this instant. The wheels are on cleared rails. The locomotive just powers out. They’ll just back up and hit it again. If you were backing empty rail cars over that spot, they would definitely derail as they are too light and nothing in front is clearing the snow away.
@@JOHNSMITH-dc6lr depends if it is perfectly level and zero Ice, then maybe… otherwise if one side of the plow encounters more resistance than the other side for any reason, it could derail.
Hardly getting stuck, it's a plow train. Just lost the momentum. It's gonna go back, take new speed and plow a bit further.
That's a great Canadian train
Awesome shot!
Do you see all the dirt in that snow. Those farmers gotta quit Fall tilling.
I'd think this might be more effective with a few more cars for more kinetic energy, but I assume the rail folks have sorted the math, already?
Thats a 2 edge sword, because you would lose traction because now you are pulling/pushing more weight as well
I bet you didnt think of that did you?
Oh Man, I want to HEAR this so bad.
Back up and have another crack or the heat off of the engine will melt anything in it’s way
Doesnt appear stuck. Just couple more tries
It looks like the Drift... Won!
😂
It did
Amazing video, just a shame there is no sound
Drones don't have mics
it looks like Snowpiercer series
I want one!!

Did it stall? Must be unnerving driving the train where you can't even see the tracks.
It did not stall but it had to reverse and try again
Прочитал коменты и задал вопрос. Вы где все живете?
Like a baby. snow is a completely innocent occurrence.
No rotary snow plow? Seems like that would make it easier.
Never seen a train get stuck in snow
Snow fences are the problem.
So much snow covering the tracks how does the engineer know where to go??
ANd it was hard packed snow too!
I guess Thomas the Train couldnt
So where is the "clears" part here? It looks rather like it is getting stuck.
not sure if this train could have gone faster, that would have helped and having more cars on for momentum...
No, more cars wouldn't help in fact it would be alot worse because now they would be pulling/pushing more weight
@@matthewwilson5019 that is why I am not an engineer LOL:) It must have been the sheer amount of snow, or definitely a blower was the tool....
Use more carts for more weight.
came up a little short there...
Now I will know where Hollywood makes films about Russia
В России проехал бы и не заметил🤣 сам работаю на РЖД)
When was this? After the last blizzard we had?
About 10 days ago!
Do you need to have a license in order to fly that drone in that area?
No not here.
It looks like it ran out steam at the end
Yeah had to make a second attempt but drone battery died
Why did you only record 49 seconds?
Battery died in the cold weather
Not this year! Barely snow or sun -10°C.
Those locomotives are not stuck.

Great Western Rail in SW Saskatchewan is owned by a bunch of farmers and isn't that big. That is probably why.
Are you implying Canada is a 3rd world country?

That's Canadian rail for you
Damn….I should call her
Time to get the rotary out.
By clear I suppose you mean came to a dead stop before clearing it.
back er up and then slam it lol
So, that’s what happened to my Amazon package.
Off, we need more shelter belts! It get more like cement than snow when it packs up like that.
It sounded like hitting cement too!
Shelter belt? Lol. If you can even get a tree to grow maybe. But then it’ll just drift in harder because the snow won’t blow across the rail line if you did have trees there.
It’s not a “no trees” problem. It’s a “too much snow” problem. Trees won’t fix that.
Kinda ran out of steam!🫢
Did you get video of them pushing through?
No battery died. I wish!
That's a shame! Maybe after this weekend's storm.
Have seen a pile of snow blown through like that since a party in the 1980s in Miami 🤣
Clears?
Do trains have reverse gear?
Yes
No, it doesn't...
whats the location Chris?????
Close to Instow
Didn't look like they cleared it.
Eventurally they did
ALMOST CLEARED....
Да пацаны. Дальше Россия. 0,5 в себя.2 лопаты и греем солярку. И вперед
Yup, just like concrete !
Not like concrete at all, but appreciate the enthusiasm.
Appreciate the correction.@@apple54345
Wouldn't a blower be better in that situation?
This short line does not have one
