The technique of snow-ploughing using the tractor involves pushing snow off to the side at certain points whenever too much snow accumulates in-front of the tractor. In some places, after the tractor passes by, it is hard to believe the right-of-way is still possible for trams. The tram railroad crossing with a rarely used railroad branch is hardly noticeable behind the pile of snow. (08 Feb 2007, YM) |
