[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by selector</i> <br /><br />I have not noticed this in Canada, Matt. We run trains 24/7 at -36 deg Celsius in prairie winds, and I have yet to see a train wheel painted with stripes or marks as some airlines paint their engine spools. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I think it might be a case of Canada being too cold for the problem to arise - as I understand it, it's caused by the brake shoes heating up when applied (melting the ice) then cooling (allowing the ice to reform). Minus 36 is well below winter temperatures in the Alps so it may be that the ice doesn't get a chance to melt in the first place!
