Now this is one idea that makes a whole lot of sense. I remember IC sending trains of snow from a bad storm from Chicago, to Louisiana and just letting the snow melt and drip out of the cars. Would need some modern innovations, but sure could work! Any water going into the resevors would be a plus.
