Ice and trams isn't exactly a 'new' problem.

Did that old Ohio brass catalogue that was posted here years ago have
'ice cutter' trolley heads in the catalogue ?

[ANTHONY TIEULI]

Ohio Brass did, indeed, catalogue ice cutting trolley wheels and "shoes." The company was sold, and overhead wire components are still available from the successor company. Not sure about the ice cutting wheels or carbon insert trolley skids. Ohio Brass also manufactured "Tomlinson tight lock couplers." Those are still manufactured by another manufacturer in the'States.

Usually sorted by the first couple of trams of the day.

This used to happen in Melbourne when near parks. Travelling through Royal Park was the most severe.
