MTA Snow Plow: A Freaking Jet Engine on Wheels, Running at Top Speed
BrooklynSwordStyle writes in the Prospect Heights Message Boards: “…I live right next to the Atlantic Yards tracks, and every time there is a big snow, they roll out a jet engine to clear it. Not a snow blower–a big-ass jet engine mounted on a railcar that they run up and down the tracks.”
“They start generally between 1AM and 3AM and run it for a good hour at least.”
“It’s a freaking jet engine running top speed for an hour!”
“There has got to be a more efficient, and less rage inducing way to clear snow from from the tracks. Once again, I’m a tired, angry man after losing a good night’s sleep to that infernal device. And Mrs. BrooklynSwordStyle, who works from home, has informed me that they are at it again right now.”
“If you think I’m exaggerating, I assure you I am not. It really is a jet turbine mounted on a truck that rolls up and down the rails.“
