> In winter it breaks because leaves get on the line
This is something that media talking heads harp on about, leaves don't break the line they cause wheels to slip. It's like criticising road traffic for not handling oil spills
- Arn_Thor 4y agoExcept leaves falling in Autumn is a known event that one would presume thinking human beings would factor in. If oil fell from the sky onto the road for several weeks each year, I think people would cry very loudly for a solution.
- tomatocracy 4y agoThere's a pretty simple solution to this as well (which actually is used for the most part) - cut down the trees which are right next to the railway.
