How Canadian railways deal with snow
And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014 -
Nice.
Looks like absolutely nothing can stop it."Condoms should come with a free pack of earplugs." -
Dutch railways sold all their snowploughs when they split into network operator and train companies. Network operator said snowploughs are trains, 'not our responsibility; train operator said snowploughs are for track maintenance, 'not our reponsibility', minister said 'too expensive as it hardly ever snows'. Now for two years running, snow has brought railways to a standstill with all the economic losses that brings. Last year the government gave gajillions of euros to the railways to prepare for winter, and they did everything except buy snowploughs. Today, just as 2 weeks ago, the railways are crippled.Originally posted by ThomasSoerensen View PostNice.

Got an old friend from waaay back. we're talking grade 1 here, and that is what he does. Apparently it consumes vast quantities of hydraulic fluid. Put some photos up in his facebook profile of it. "Wicked" was all I could say.
