Aberdeen Squirter :3

So, it's RHTT (Railhead Treatment Train) season, and the run from Inverness to Inverness via Aberdeen has started up (GBRf 3S97).

For the uninitiated, RHTTs essentially spray a mixture of gel, sand and iron shot, that clears debris on the rails such as leaf build up. This is required and very important work since these leaves can mess with a train's ability to break (they get compressed by trains and become very very slippery) and ability to remain in contact with the track circuit (which is very important since that's how they're tracked). So these trains are tasked with going round different areas of the UK network, usually at night, and clearing the build up.
