Brandon French, 21, caught caught with 15 wraps of heroin and 17 grams of cannabis at Colchester railway station, Essex by the British Transport Police's County Lines Taskforce.
He tried to hide his identity by pulling his hood across his face, but as the officers approached they detected an instant whiff of cannabis.
French, of St. Mary's Road, Hastings pleaded guilty to possessing heroin, with intent to supply and possessing cannabis at the station on January 23.
Ipswich Crown Court heard it was just before 1.00pm on that day when plain clothed officers approached and searched French and found the drugs along with a burner-style phone.
Detective Inspector Matt Davies said: “The custodial sentence French has received is reflective of his serial county lines offending. I hope he spend his time in jail reconsidering his illegal business interests.
“You may not spot them, but our plain clothes officers are on the railway every day conducting operations to put drug suppliers like French before the courts.
“Our message to anyone using the network to move drugs is clear – we will catch you and you will face justice.”
