Everything about the house was hosed. Why do some outlets and lights not work? Neighbors say "ol' Miller used to drink while he worked on the house." Radon levels were over 4.5 at the top of the basement stairs with windows open (I'm probably going to die of lung cancer 10 years ago). That was one of the reasons it was sold for teardown/as-is.

How much snow can a locomotive like that plow through before it becomes a derailment hazard or bogs it down?

NoWake

College Slice
The small contact patch and inflexibility of wheel on rail combined with weight of the locomotive means the snow and ice will just get obliterated when run over, and it's the job of the front plow system to clear a path enough that a pile of snow between the rails won't float the loco's trucks up to the point where the wheel flanges go above the head of the rail. If you look up locomotive pictures, you'll see they all have a substantial plow mounted to the front end.

Momentum will get a train through a drift or two, but when that momentum gets sucked up that might be it for you. There are dedicated plows that can be run in mountain areas where the snow falls feet at a time, and when those get stuck, rotary plows are used to just chew through the drifts and spit the snow out the side.

Are you asking how much snow could a snow plow blow before the snow plow blow off the tracks?

Here's a good video of railroad snow plowing:

When the guy says "hope it's still on," he means on the rails.

"Bring more power out" = need more engines.

You can have two frame walk cycle indicators, or you can have traffic signals securely attached to the ground. But not both.


That's pretty neat, though TBH I was waiting for a hydraulic valve to fail or something and just fling the car off to the side.

I think that one had already fallen down and wasn't doing anything.

But when he titled it back upright, that let the other stick that was propping it up fall out too.
