Snow like this causes all sorts of problems with interlockings and other equipment. The switch heaters can't keep up with snowfall rates like they're predicting and the switches can't be thrown. Once that happens you are stuck waiting for the track department to clean out the switch manually before you can move again. This fine powdery snow get sucked into things it shouldn't be in and causes shorts, freeze ups, etc. Not going to be fun night. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
