B&O had track pans on the Royal Blue line but not elsewhere. Aside from PRR and NYC, I don't think that any other North American railroads used track pans.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

An additional question on the subject as well:

Were track pans used in winter? If so, how was the water kept from freezing?
