| Snow and Amtrak |
| 26 Jan 15 15:55:48 |
From: nilknocgeo@earthlink.net Amtrak has posted that it keeps diesels in the NE in case the electrity were to go off during this winter's storm. That got me wondering: did RRs in the past prepare better for snow than today? I remember the large rotary plows. Are they still in use? Besides solar plows, does Amtrak have any way of clearing snow? --- SoupGate/W32 v1.03 * Origin: LiveWire BBS -=*=- UseNet FTN Gateway (1:2320/1) |
