Not like the dark ages of the 1980's when there was still hundreds of engines throughout the country that could plough snow, one company running trains and track, ho hum
ha, ha...you must be kidding...I commuted to school by train, and spent many an hour freezing on the platform when the train was late due to snow. That was in the eighties, and children were expected to wait outside while the adults took the tiny waiting room space...sounds fair given we paid 1/2 fare and anyway would run around playing snowballs to keep warm :-)
