A few days ago a posted this Train-mounted lasers blast tracks clean - CNET in the science section.
I guess the idea is not that new, the video was posted in 2010.
It's nicer IMO to see a video of it working rather that just reading about it.

Sorry, I did a search, but Google must not
have cached it yet.

That's completely fine, quite honestly, your video is more interesting anyway.

The Dutch are on a roll! First the orchard lasers, now on trains!

I wonder how long until we heat our dinner with lasers
