Alcohol train   Contributor's Pick!       
The alcohol train is a specially equipped car that sprays an alcohol solution on the third rail to prevent icing, allowing MU cars to maintain good contact in snow and ice conditions. Here it is passing over Little Neck Parkway on the Port Washington Branch.
