Frisco and other railroads used weed spraying trains to kill the vegatation near the tracks. <br /> <br />They also had a railroad machine with hugh cutting disks on a boom. There were 2 disks on each side that would cut down even small trees. <br /> <br />Before the 80s, before that on some railroads, the railroads used old passenger equipment to house MOW workers who would work on the tracks. The MOW train would move as needed to keep up with the workers. <br /> <br />
