In most countries heavy snowfall usually means severe train delays and general travel chaos.

However, in Canada, this is never a problem, with trains simply ploughing through even the thickest snow on the tracks.

According to local reports, New Brunswick has suffered from three heavy blizzards in the last week and this has caused major disruption to the area’s roads.

On Tuesday, officials issued a state of emergency warning residents to refrain from driving and a week-long parking ban was started on certain roads.

If this video is anything to go by however, the area’s railways seem to have been less adversely affected.
