Not sure why it was out on this day, but this tram is used to clear snow from the tram tracks in Zurich.

A snow tram?! Is that a real thing?

Not that much anymore lately, but they were useful once upon a time :)

Not as cool as the Fondue tram!

The fondue tram is cool, as is the christmas tram and the other heritage stock, but personally I think the snow plow tram is the coolest.

We have one like this in Prague and apparently it's used for 'oiling the rails'
