A train with a snow plough attached to its front drove deep snow from tracks to clear a key UK train route.
After the worst snowstorms in Britain for nearly 30 years, the train filmed by one of Britain's Network Rail engineers at Strumpshaw station cleared the Norwich to Lowestoft line in Norfolk, eastern England.
The railway network told it uses different types of ploughs on the front of trains when it is "confident that no more snow will fall".
All snow ploughs that are owned by freight operating companies need a minimum of two locomotives to cut through snow, which gives "flexibility and resilience", the train company added.
The ploughs include the most common mini snow ploughs (MSPs) that clip onto the front of trains with blades that can be adjusted for snow depth of up to 18 inches (45.7 centimetres), to more robust ploughs for heavier snowfalls, such as the Bielhack V plough and Independent snow plough.
A blast of Siberian cold dubbed "the Beast from the East" has grounded planes, stopped trains, blocked roads and shut schools in the past week.
