Some railroads on peninsulas that had no outside connection other then by car float had to cease operations when the lake or bay(fresh water) froze over.Of course the CG would send a ice breaker to clear a shipping lane but,that could become 7 day job as the water keeps freezing. If this was salt water then high seas from storms could cause the railroad to temporary cease operation.
Modelers with this type of switching layout could emulate the water being froze when their hobby time slows during the summer months.
