The article I just posted on snow storms in Boston crippling car traffic inspired me to delve into the world of trains and snow. While I'm sure that icy tracks and a heavy enough snowfall would bring train travel to its knees as well, travel along a fixed rail seems to be much more weather-resistant than transportation via cars or planes. These videos (below) offer a cool look at what a train can do in adverse weather conditions and how they keep their tracks clear.
I even found a painfully boring video of a computer train simulator using a rotary plow to remove snow and a video of a model train, which some guy apparently runs outdoors, shoving its way through the white n' fluffy. Photo via flickr by iwouldstay Comments (1)

Cars are the most inconvenient convenience we have. We're required to have them, but increasingly, we dislike them. At Carectomy, we're trying to figure out how to extract cars from people.
