014. Fluffing Is Women's Work Now

Fluffing is the name given to teams who remove grease and attached particles from the line to remove potential fire risk. The nightly activities of the female track cleaning teams known as the Fluffers or “Fluffies” proved so intriguing that several films were made including one by British Pathe in 1944.
