and that's something ya don't see everyday! Odyssey Evergreen, CO Date: 01/11/19 01:37 Re: German preserved steam near Wernigerode. Author: andersonb109 Looks like the line up to the Brocken. We did a photo charter there a few years back. Zero snow until we got near the summit. You pay your money, you take your chance.

The locomotive looks pretty frosted. So here's a steam-era predicament: If all the steam has condensed and turned to ice, how would the pistons work with ice inside? It looks like the crew has lit a fire under the cylinders. Maybe that's the solution? Otherwise you'd have to disconnect the side rods? On a diesel, at least you could roll it.

The Lackawanna Railroad used the exhaust from its 2-8-2 locomotives to clear crusted ice from overhead electric lines in sleet storms.

The frozen motion had to be removed to allow it to be towed back down the mountain
