      Believe it or not, but leaves are actually among the worst enemies for trains. That is because the leaves get crushed by the train wheels and it sort of forms a layer on the rail that makes it extremely slippery. It gets slippery because of the very low friction between rail and wheel, and also the contact area is much smaller compared to for example a car tire against a road surface, which means that not much is needed to disrupt that contact area. Braking distances will be much much longer than usual, and trains already have very long braking distances because of the already low friction. Also, the heavier the train is there's more mass to get stopped which in turn means even longer braking distances. This is a very challenging thing for train drivers/engineers and can potentially be dangerous if for example a train can not stop in time in front of a signal. I am talking out of experience here, as I am working as a train driver/engineer in Sweden.

      It's a nice job, you get to see places and get paid for it.
      Driving a train is a fun experience although as with everything it becomes a habit after a while.
      But what I personally like is that nobody tells you what to do, you are your own boss on that train, which of course also means a big responsibility. If something happens it's you as the driver that makes all the decisions onboard.
      That does not mean there are no downsides to it. For example, sometimes working on weekends and the times you work can vary quite a bit from early mornings to nights. So you have to be quite flexible and be able to adapt.

      @Mister Master wow, you know absolutely nothing about running a train. Yes, any well trained monkey can blow a horn but it takes a great amount of skill to handle a mile long tonnage train. Try running a freight up, around and down a mountain. I’ve had men riding with me put their head down because they couldn’t handle not seeing anything in pea soup thick fog and you still had to maintain the normal speed to keep a train on time. I worked out of nyc where out average speed was 125mph. Do you slow down in your car in inclement weather? Well bozo, you can’t do that on a train. We are trained to know each mile by the tenth, on every route, so we know were we’re at no matter how bad the weather. Although I wouldn’t expect the average McDonald’s worker to know or appreciate our unique skills. Good luck in your career. Maybe you can humble yourself now.

      I have always loved trains and grew up not far from a main line. Then I started working for Canadian National Telecommunications, which was part of the railway. In the mid 70s, I spent a couple of years in Northern Ontario and often rode trains, usually freights, to get to my work locations. I'd ride in either the engine or caboose (van as the crews called it). One thing I recall was hoping on or off a slowly moving train, as the engineer didn't want to come to a full stop, if he didn't have to.

      I think the plow might be pushing the fallen trees out of the way. Sitting on the snow, they're probably high enough up for it to move them. I think wood might be dense enough to lift a locomotive off the tracks if the wood got under the wheels.
      But yeah. It was pretty damn enjoyable to listen to them cary on.

    My Grandpa used to plow the roads up north for years.. Got up real early so everyone had clear roads.. All summer and the off season, while driving around he would inspect the roads for cracks amd bumps to watch out for. He knew those roads better than anybody. It sounds like a fun job and I am sure he enjoyed it at times but when he started back in the day, they didn't have a wing man. The plow had analog controls that weren't for the faint of heart and it was tough to do by yourself. But I imagine he liked that better than the digging and crap that they did in the summer. It was hard work. But he retired from working for that town after about 20 years.. He eventually had a wing man at the end but that was the end of an era.. You had to have your head together at all times driving that big truck in bad weather, snow and ice.. R.I.P. Grandpa, you are the Man!
