The army had to accompany a military train through the city. There were two tasks: to clean the rails from ice and snow and to block the roads before the train crosses them.
Fulfilling the second task, he went out with a break and full pofigism to the middle of the lane (comrades went out to other streets) and stood face to face with the cars.
At the same time, the fun thought: I will jump back in case of something, and the break is not.

Sometimes cars parked on the rails were pushed off with a slide if the owner did not go out on the wheels.
