Trains were used to transport large amounts of snow that workers cleared from a railway station in northern China.

Video shot in the city of Jiamusi in Heilongjiang Province on November 27 shows workers using shovels to clear heavy snow at Jiamusi Railway Station.

Since the forklifts could not drive onto the railway tracks and the trains could not enter the station because of the heavy snow. Workers used shovels to clear the massive snow and transported it out by train.

In just six days, 1,100 carriages of snow were transported.

11月27日，黑龙江佳木斯，连日大雪致佳木斯火车站站内积雪太多无法作业。积雪最深达到一米，铁路工人每天用火车往外拉雪，6天运出20列车雪，每列车55节车皮，累计1100车雪。由于铁路线上不能上铲车，如果雪运不出去，列车就无法进站。只能由人工用铁锹装车，工人们再跟车去卸雪。（视频由黑龙江台提供）
