That was pretty cool However, I would like to see them do turns and curves? Looks like a good idea, for replacing existing old tracks, with new ones, Cool find.

WOW! that is stunning. Those guys have it down to a science! I've always wondering what those cool looking pieces of machinery sitting on railroad tracks do...

Boy does that bring back some memories!!! When AMTRAK replaced all of the wooden ties on the East Coast Corridor, they came through Kingston, R.I. . I spent a morning with my older brother( who was really into railroading) watching a machine like that one pulling up the spikes, tie plates, and the wooden ties then, replacing it with a concrete tie and rail tie-down. The machine also "fluffed up" the roadbed and graded everything just like you see in the video. They set up a wooden tie processing plant about six miles from me and, processed over 1.5 Million ties!!! Truly an incredible piece of equipment. TM
It's pretty sad when the only model tool you own is a box cutter

I have several dvd's that show that outfit replacing tracks here in the U.S. it is very interesting to watch and see how everything works together when we were doing some work along the tracks in Tacoma,Wa we got to see on of the outfits that was puttting down new ballast and cleaning out the dirt it was really a great thing to see and watch......
