Not everyone runs across these... they repaired the railroad next to my work. I have never been around an active railroad every day nor paid attention. Most people won't know what it does. And if you read the comments, I left it up to viewers to tell me vs. just Google it. It's called "Interacting with viewers.". Lol

You must be new to rail fanning; it's a rail grinder to restore top shape after being worn down by movement of the cars. They carry a lot of water to suppress fires started by the sparks. Owned by private contractors, but monitored by railroad inspectors.
@northeastrailwayproductions2 ай бұрын
Not that new, I've done it on and off my whole life. Loved trains since I knew what they were lol. Got a set every year for Christmas, HO scale and a couple G scale sets. The past 2 years I've been pretty heavy into it and decided to post on youtube. In all my 37 years, I've never come across a rail grinder, lol.
@northeastrailwayproductions2 ай бұрын
And it wasn't only until last year that (if memory serves me right... never does), that they start doing 40+mph through my area. Before they upgraded, the track speeds were around 25mph tops, maybe a little less. I've never seen so much equipment until the end of last year and all this year.

@dfwrider38302 ай бұрын
its a rail grinder, with use the rails wear out, so the top surface must be reground periodically to restore it to proper shape the tanks likely have water so they can sprinkle over the tracks they just ground. often there will be a small hi-rail firetruck following behind with a guy in the back who can use a water cannon to put out any fires this creates which got past the sprinklers.
@northeastrailwayproductions2 ай бұрын
I never knew they resurfaced the rail like that. I just thought, (when one goes bad, replace it). It makes sense now because the Rails are all welded to one single piece, no more joints.

It's a Loram rail grinding train. It grinds the rail surface to the proper profile, prolonging the life of the track. The black tanks hold water to spray the area after they pass to prevent fires. What you thought were weights are the extra grinding wheels. If you can catch it working at night its quite a light show.

Thanks so much for doing the update. Can't say I can figure out any more about what they are doing since the track and bridge look about the same as last time. I have heard from many reliable sources that the connecting track which is on the opposite side of where you were first standing, is going to be rebuilt to allow CSX freight trains to go from Worcester to Framingham through Clinton in the near future as Massachusetts and Amtrak plan to add more passenger service to the Worcester - Boston B&A main line. Interesting things are happening for sure.
