This is the moment Austrian train workers shut down their track clearing operations to rescue a mountain goat.
The goat had become buried in a deluge of snow the workers had been clearing from the rails.
Austrian Railway OEBB posted a video of the rescue, which has been viewed almost 100 thousand times on Twitter.
Austrian news agency APA reported Wednesday two workers leapt out of the train and shovelled snow to reach the chamois, a type of goat-antelope.
The animal was stuck in a snowdrift at the side of the tracks in Gesaeuse national park in central Austria.
They say the animal seemed transfixed by the oncoming train and didn't move away from the side of the tracks despite persistent honking.
After the chamois was freed, it loped away through the deep snow into a forest.
At least 13 people have been killed this week in deadly storms that have battered Europe, including Austria, Germany, Romania, Norway, and Switzerland.
