The movement of passing trains can throw snow back into switches that have already been dug out and cleared. It could become necessary to clear out switches again with power on.
New from Mattel - it's the Wollaston Beach Barbie Playset!
Barbie is in full uniform as the MP Lieutenant with a National Guard unit assigned to snow recovery along the Red Line. Accessories include a scale-replica service sidearm and the Barbie HumVee (tm).
Ken is part of the snow recovery effort, too, and is wearing his uniform - a fluorescent MCI jumpsuit!

I have no idea why all those shovels were on display at Braintree, but, no, I don't think the T is going to ask passengers to shovel out a train.
Love the colors!
