If you're cold they're cold. Set them on fire.

lol. That is legit though, because they do that to stop the switches from freezing.

Firesnakes.
They use them to keep the switches from freezing if they don't have built in electrical heaters, or if the heater circuit fails. Otherwise, some poor schlep has to hack away at the ice to get the switches to throw.
Maintenance guys get the worst jobs on the rails.
