Took a quick round trip this week to Ottawa on VIA....and noticed that at
both Belleville (CN) and Smiths Falls (CP), there was a well-maintained wind
sock on a tower on the property..
Does anyone know why the rails would maintain a wind sock? Are there any
railroad employees out there who can tell us why this is of use to them? I
would've thought the wind factor was rather obvious to anyone on the ground?
Secret Aerotrain maybe?!?!
More seriously, what about as a precaution if an Air Ambulamce is required?
