F-line to Dudley via Park wrote:PCC's have enough kick to push snow just fine. It's the undercarriage layout and propensity for snow getting sucked into the motors that's the problem. Unlike the Orange Line cars where simple hairnets can give the blowers a modicum of protection from ice intake and unlike the Kinkis which seem to be largely impervious to it, however the PCC's are laid out underneath leaves them unusually vulnerable to slurping up snow from below the railhead.
