Default The "Third Rail problem"
Here's an idea...get a 160 ton steam train fitted with a snow plough
that shifts the snow, and crunches the ice.

Apart from a distinct lack of 160 ton steam locos, the snow plough is not
going to get the ice off the conductor rail. Great idea otherwise...

And you don't need a "160 ton steam train", or did he mean "locomotive"?

I thought it was only the media and the unwashed masses who didn't know the
difference between a train and a locomotive.
