Wouldn't it stand to reason that the Silverliners and Arrows would use the same sort of traction motors as the M1s and M3s? The GG1s had a similar problem during one snowstorm in the 1950s, but after a fix by the PRR never encountered the same problem again.The bigger problem is one of third rail icing and snow covering the third rail. If the snow reaches the 15 to 20 feet height of the catenary then you have far bigger problems than trying to operate trains. |
