6427 - VR Finnish Railways
Title:  6427 - VR Finnish Railways
Description:  Some work waiting for the train de-icing installation at the Ilmala depot in Helsinki. This Sm4 Rabbit is suffering from a heavy ice buildup on front and bogies. Take a closer look at the tens of kilograms weighing chunk of ice around the bogie! it will make a boom inside if it falls when the train is travelling 160 kph (100 mph), actually travelling on this type of EMU in winter can be quite noisy anyway with almost non stop ice bombardment against the low floor section front wall of the train.
