    At the end of the line, driver jumps out and switches tracks. Next to the switch, he digs up a small, plastic bottle out of the snow, takes a big swig of homemade pálinka, puts it back under the snow, hops on, and heads back to clear the other track.

    At least, that’s what I would have done.

      You would fail the vigilance test. Trams and other modern trains has a light on their control panel which lights up at random intervals, and you have to push a button after that. If you can’t push it quickly enough the train stops. It checks if you fall asleep, or your attention decreases. So you shouldn’t drink any alcohol if you want to drive heavy machinery.
