  • Description : I love this gadget! A "brise glace" or "ice breaker" wagon "pour tunnels" stationed at Langeac. A set of serrated steeel blades are arranged around the frame on the wagon so that they scrape the tunnel profile, removing any ice formations before they grow to a size where they might do damage to passing trains.
