Clearing Snow from Tram lines in Sapporo

This is not something you see everyday. Sapporo still uses snow sweepers to keep it's tram line clear during snow storms.  These work cars were once common in many cities prone to snow, but have disappeared from all but a few places like Sapporo, Hakadate and Helsinki Finland.
