Network Rail 'Ice-breakers'.
Looking through a copy of 'Railway Magazine' from March 2007 last night, I came across a picture of 86901 and 86902 stabled in York station. The caption referred to the fact that the loco's were ready to clear any ice that might form on the o/h wires. Does anyone have any more information on these two? Are they self propelled? And how does the ice breaking equipment actually work?
