  I’m thinking ice/traction. Winter is closer than you think, pal.

  The sand is filled into the containers that are under some of the seats, the seats being directly above the wheels. It’s used all the time, not just in winter, to ensure that the wheels don’t block when the tram is braking. That’s why trams often seem to be coming out of huge dustclouds when they’re approaching a station during summer.

  I was going to suggest you ask Horst…

  Indeed.

  Perhaps there should be a new television program:

  “Ask Horst, The Moose or a Tomato”

  It’s a game show and advice forum all in one!

  I’d agree to host that program—if only somebody would ask me.

  Yes, I have seen them putting it onto the brake, too.

  Ah, ja – Horst, would you host that program please?
