Scientific approach to snow control on railway tracks

Scientific approach to snow control on railway tracks

Railway workers in Canada and the United States of America, faced similar, and perhaps even harsher conditions for dealing with snow on railways than on the territory of the Russian Empire. But they came to the conclusion much earlier – in the fight against the snow it is necessary to use the most modern scientific and technological achievements.

At a time when the workers of the Kursk-Kharkov-Azov or Catherine railways were adopting plank shields for snow plows, their Quebec, New York or Chicago colleagues solved the same problems using steam traction.
