Extreme Cold Forced Railways to Innovate or Collapse

January 1947. Essex—England's warmest county—recorded -20°C (-4°F). The same temperature as the Arctic Circle. The flatlands that grew strawberries and supplied London with fresh produce became a frozen wasteland. Nobody believed it was possible. Essex enjoyed Britain's mildest winters—coastal location, gentle climate, rarely seeing serious snow. Then the Big Freeze arrived. On January 23rd, thermometers at Writtle near Chelmsford recorded Britain's third-lowest temperature ever measured in the southeast: minus twenty degrees Celsius. Greenhouses—Essex's agricultural pride—shattered under the weight of ice. Tomato crops worth millions were destroyed overnight. Farmers watched decades of work vanish in sub-zero temperatures.
