Whether it's heated is another question. CN had some that did not heat the air but blew at such a velocity that snow could not collect. KG Date: 06/24/16 17:02 Re: What are They? Author: edsaalig You see these tanks by switches in Canada. I assume to supply gas for heating to keep switches from freezing.
