Condensate

That as maybe but Jerk was commenting on the photo in the Ipswich Star link of a Tunnel at Ipswich which does have overhead lines.

In the past I have seen photos of such wagons for use where they can be used but cannot remember any UK example, in places where the problem is frequent like some of the higher North American routes routes they had them.

One of the UK canals had something similar for a canal tunnel but its main use was for removing soot deposited by steam powered craft.

Fairy nuff.

It's southern region. 3rd rail 800v DC,. No overhead 25Kv stuff.

But there are lineside signalling and power cables that might get skewered.

If it really was balanced and not fan flued, then it will have not have been very efficient.

It was very effective though. As it was 35 years ago and lasted for 32 years I think it was a good buy.

Go back and look at the photo to which Jim was looking at and I was commentating on , if hasn't made it to your newsreader for some reason it is on this link

The overhead wires are visible up amongst the Icicles. Ipswich is nowhere near the former southern region.

It's the Norwich to Liverpool Street line.

I recall a post here when domestic condensing boilers first appeared, where the condensate pipe dripped onto a conservatory roof. The roof didn't survive the 4' icicle which broke away and smashed through it.
