The Ministry of Railways shared two video clips of the Srinagar Railway station on their official Twitter handle and the view of the station, covered in snow, looked 'spectacular'. The track maintenance is currently clearing the snow that has covered the entire site. The short videos have caught the attention of thousands of social media users as everyone is mesmerised by it. 

In the first clip shared by Ministry of Railways, the machine that can be seen with a thin layer of snow on it clears the tracks and throws out the snow that it collects from a nozzle in the front. The video, which netizens said looked like a fairyland, has already garnered over 33k views with thousands of likes and hundreds of comments. The second video also shows a similar scene with engine moving amid snow-laden tracks with more snowfall taking place at the same time.
