The "Third Rail problem"
1506 writes:
They also employed snow cars which would run at night in open sections
with a very hard brush (imagine 2" nails as each bristle) and a grease
to sit on the rail making icing near impossible.
This would seem to be a solution. although I liked the idea, up
thread, of self warming rails (and overhead).
Wouldn't something involving a flamethrower be more entertaining
though...?
