The Tokaido Shinkansen continues operating in conditions that would shut down most rail systems.

**Engineering behind it:**
🔹 Advanced snow detection sensors
🔹 Heated track switching systems
🔹 Aerodynamic design prevents snow buildup
🔹 Real-time monitoring & predictive maintenance
🔹 Automated de-icing systems

Since 1964, the Shinkansen has maintained a perfect safety record while running at 320 km/h.

@xavierdatatech Is that urea (same as used on airplanes) ? What do they do about the run-off? If urea is just left to run into nearby streams, you'll get over-fertilization and dead water-ways. If they manage the run-off, kudos to them. It's got to be pretty expensive though.
