Or "Weed Whacker", "Brush Cutter" and possibly some other monikers.

CN seems to run them far too infrequently IMHO, although I was pleased to see that something has been done in the last few days at one of my favourite locations, near mile 9 of the Bedford Sub.

This implement of destruction was photographed July 12, 1997 at Ocean Terminals in Halifax, NS.

You'd never see those used in the west. One spark from those metal blades hitting a rock and the whole place goes up in flames.

In the late 80s, one day (as scanner talk revealed), one of these on CP's Winchester Sub took out some wiring for the signals, and caused no end of havoc. Somebody got a talking to, no doubt.

Definitely!  Always nice after the brush cutter goes through.
