Good pic.

The more enlightened Tramways of the world understand the merits of an effective track scrubber to keep rail corrugations under control as well as subsidiary jobs such as leaf removal from the railhead.

The Gold Coast line is slowly but surely getting noisier rail corrugations but I doubt if anyone there is even aware of what is happening, let alone being aware that the problem can be overcome.

One reason Helsinki prefers a tram may be to deal with snow - a truck driver may lose track of the rails if the road is covered in snow - as it was a few days previously.
