Tram operators be like: "I love sand. It's coarse, rough, and it gets everywhere"

I think it's just funny that there's just a button that says sand

"ding-button" sounds like something an Australian grandfather would yell at a car that cut them off

my ADHD-ass brain is going to randomly and unpromptedly tell the wrong grandkid at 85 "trains had a sand button for sand" and get put in an old-folks home, so thanks for that.

A few years ago the higher ups in Germany had the great idea that sand was damaging the rails and not realy needed for ice and snow, because of the great anti slipping tech trains have, so the new trains would not have sand. Then wet leafs started falling on the rails. Snow and ice, yeah computer controlled braking and accelleration can deal with that. Wet leafs? What kind of unknown sorcery is that?

It works because sand is coarse, rough and gets everywhere

It’s also good for keeping Darth Vader away from public transportation

Funnyly enough there is a different reason for sand in trains here in germany, although it still has to do with braking. In autumn leaves drop everywhere and gunk up the rails, causing the braking efficiency to be almost absent. To counteract that sand is blasted from parts of the train to remove the leaves from the tracks as you brake.

I was on a tram that ran out of sand so we all had to get off, and that was how I first learned of this!

PSA: When the wind blows between the buildings in Melbourne and dust picks up from the tram tracks (or an emergency service vehicle races down the tracks), don't keep staring at the road like a certain idiot writing this message did. You WILL get grit in your eyes!

My dad has kitty litter in his car for this same reason. We live in a rural area so when it snows, it's hard to drive due to the hills. Kitty litter also soaks up oil. He works in a kitchen and he emptied the fryer once and forgot to put the bucket under.... Oil went everywhere so he went to his car and grabbed the litter, he said it worked well!

I forgot I'd seen this on a tram years ago, and so now I have the answer to an old question I'd completely forgotten I'd ever wanted to ask! Thanks!!

I’ve never been to Australia, but I’ve wondered about this for years since my local public transit has it too. My favorite place to sit has always been the seat with the box of sand under it. You can feel the sand moving around when the train rocks back and forth. Thanks for answering a question I’ve had for years!
