@Crintingnut The word flanger comes from the flanges on the wheel of trains that keep them on the track. The flanger breaks away ice from the flangeway, or the inside rail in order to prevent derailment. The locomotive is usually heavy enough not to derail because of ice but the cars are not so the ice must be broken away.
Where does "flanger" come from?
