jhhtrainsplanes mentioned the water trays. My grandmother was employed by NYC (or it's predecessor of the time) during WW1 and among her duties was breaking the ice in the water pan during winter. It was in the boonies and there was nothing around to supply any heat for killing the ice. It was apparently very, very hard work. The pan was almost a 1/4 mile long, between the rails, and about 6 inches deep. The trick was to work fast enough that the water didn't freeze all the way to the bottom of the pan before you got back to the same spot.
