It was the snow shields then... (Read 416 times)

tunnie Over Active Poster Offline Posts: 22520 London, W3 Gender: Drives: 2.2 CD (LPG'd) & BMW R1200 GS	It was the snow shields then... 21.

At a guess snow was compacted into them, then melted in the nice warm tunnel, pouring water inside the engine? Surprised this has not come up before, since those trains run to the Alps

Dec 2009 at 14:52 I can't help think there is more to this than they say, as they have been running 15yrs. Probably find that inadeqaute maintence has allowed more snow to get passed shield etc
