Or run trains in a manner in which they cannot get stuck.Where one line is walking distance from another, end regular service on the more difficult line -- N in Brooklyn. Otherwise: Plow and scraper on every train. Headways above ground of 6 minutes, short turn some trains if need be. Alter trains so they can trainline to unlimited length, if one quits, trains can push or reverse and pull those in front. One train is good for 4-6000+hp. Skip-stop if need be. It is only snow, which is mostly air and packs down into water & ice vs nearly a million pounds of train. If the trains run less than 10 minutes apart, there's not enough time for snow to block the tracks. |
