Family of Swan Makes UK Train to Run at Snail's Speed, Watch Adorable Video
The train travelling between Downham Market and Watlington, was delayed by half an hour.
This is a viral moment, when a Swan family has been captured, taking a walk on a railway track. Two adults and two cygnets were waddling along in line, when a train came behind the family near a level, reportedly crossing at Stowbridge in Norfolk, UK. But they completely perturbed and rather forced the train to slow to a snail’s speed. The bevy of swans held up a train for 30 minutes, by refusing to budge from the track. And this adorable family time has been captured by witnesses, who shared them on social media, and soon the clip went viral. 21 Swans Walk into the Avon River Announcing the Arrival of Spring Season.
