The section men on the CP main line through central Maine occasionally complained to management in the 50's (and probably before) about toilets flushing to the ground. It was "tolerable" most of the year - except Spring; That's when the Winter buildup thawed all at once making the job very unpleasant. And unfortunately, the Spring thaw was when the roadbed needed the most attention.
