The amount of snow has nothing to do with train failure, on both catenary or third rail.Its the kind of snow that makes trains fail, namely the very fine dry powdersnow, as it will ise up once compressed and the pwder gets into the components, 90% the LIRR has wet coarse snow due to it being near the relativly warm water of ocean and sound. MNCR gets the very dry powdery snow in the regions north of Croton and Hawthorn. Catenary can have its match to in ice or sleet, that pantographs can not always remove without damaging wires. |
