   "It's worth noting that, unlike the heavy rail tracks of the other TTC rapid   
   transit lines, which feature an electrified third rail, the Scarborough RT is   
   powered by finicky linear induction motors which rely on magnets in the   
   trackbed with very precise tolerances that aren't helped by snow and ice."
