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.

Watch Video: Family of Swans Waddling on Railway Track

The crowd were trying to shoo the birds off the tracks. After half an hour, they were rescued by Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA). This is not the first time, when swans have delayed trains, while taking their leisure walk. Last year, a video from London was doing round on the internet when hundreds of commuters were late as the train was forced to crawl behind a stubborn swan, waddling along the tracks for two miles.
