Idea / Suggestion: Snow Plow
Since we have to plow the streets..... shouldn't we have to plow the rails? Maybe a higher capacity to accumulate snow, so that the trains don't get slowed down in the same way as cars and as fast... so only if you haven't plowed in awhile does it start to effect them.

I couldn't find it as any other idea in a search, so I hope this gets well received and isn't done incorrectly.

yeah its basically a standard locomotive. just a plow added in front. its attachable and detachable.

Yeah. It can also be pushed by a more powerful one to move faster.

Snow is light as ♥♥♥♥ in comparison to a huge train. Trains don't run at full power, either. They have a lot of excess capacity for accelerating and optimal efficiency.

Would be cool if the plows were added in the winter, though.

Great idea, comrade. Let's add more ways to jam train traffic. When 100 trains are running around why do not add 10 more plows to network and make sure whole thing just collapses every winter. I am very sure majority of players, specially new ones, will like it.

New players should disable winter anyway. Winter is like an advanced mode for those who got tired and think eternal summer is too easy.

No, no , no. That is totally wrong. Seasons make it very different game and we can not tell new guys " Hey, you are greenhorn , just do not use seasons, education, power, gas stations." Common, man.
New player need to start game with more money and maybe use cheats to correct mistakes.But seasons are must in my opinion.

Snow vs trains would need some cool gfx to match these RL examples:

It's not all fun tho, frozen points & shorted power can be a problem, as can the odd avalanche :steammocking:

Education and gas stations are ok for everybody.

Power is also ok, but if starts to be boring after some time. Like, you plan everything, and them you have to set up the wires. It's easy, you did it a hundred times... But you still have to do it again. It's a matter of taste, I guess.

But winter is a completely different thing. It makes the game much much harder. And it happens suddenly. Everything was ok, and then after two months everyone is dead.

I genuinely think that before turning it on the player has to master everything else.

Tea_bush : that one looks like specialised for tundra region which has constant snow all year long ? its like for roads that has snow more than meter or two meter hight ?

It's a National Geographic piece, translated into Russian. The machine that is shown there is american. They say that it is used in Sierra Nevada after heavy snowfalls and it can cut through 4 meters of snow.

The USSR had such machines, too, I believe, but they are not on YouTube.
