Years ago, I asked Paul McMath, an old EBT employee, about how they kept the railroad open back in the day, and he said they ran light engines around the clock every couple of hours to keep the main track open. As for yards and sidings, when the snow stopped, they would hire hordes of men to shovel things out. Hard to imagine today.
