That section that gets swamped needs redone. I agree pull the rail, remove the old ties, and maybe get a small dozer in there to scrape the old mud filled ballast.. you can put in proper drainage pipes to facilitate better drainage away from the track as you put new ballast in and raise the grade of that sunken section. It will just keep sinking especially once weight is on it otherwise. If you want to do anything with that railroad involving loaded cars all the track they touch needs to have a stable foundation or you could end up with a broken rail with the up/down movement or worse.. it will be easier to get it done now than it would be after you have paying customers and need to use that track. Would be a good time to fix any issues with switches aswell.

@marhuf2 жыл бұрын
I agree Jason, but what I would do after removing the old ties, mud and old ballast and putting drainage pipes in, is bring in some fresh dirt to bring it up instead of ballast. Dirt is much cheaper than ballast. You can pack it in to raise it up, then dump your ballast and level it from there. Dumping ballast in that low of an area is a waste of good ballast and costly.

From watching Letsdig18 I think bringing in clay and packing it down would help with the drainage. Maybe rent an excavator and dig out a proper drainage ditch to lead the water away.

There are very few places where a rail fan can drive a train. While it may be down the road, I would absolutely pay money to show up for a day and switch some cars for the East Terminal Railway. I'm sure there's insurance and other issues to work out, but I suspect you can find enough people willing to pay enough for the day to more than cover the costs. Instead of paying employees to switch cars, you can get people to pay you for the privilege. It's a way to give back to the community.

I would absolutely recommend the course of action you are considering. Remove the rails and set them aside. Then excavate the existing roadbed (the mixed rock and soil will not support the anticipated load). Install any drainage you think necessary. Install the new bedding to an appropriate level depth and place the tires as per spec. Then reinstall the rails. This will give you the best chance of long-term success.

It really is a great day when a new video is added. Thanks it is really entertaining and you know how much the viewers love to see new ETR information. Water is the enemy and drainage is the way to protect the track. Standing water cannot be allowed near the ties or they will soon rot and won't hold spikes or the rail which will result in derailments. New ties, more stone, raised track and positive drainage is always the answer when maintaining track. Your enthusiasm and care for this railroad will result in unlimited success which we want to experience and enjoy along with you.

I think your idea to add ballast and retie that low spot is correct. Track work like that is always easier before you are moving cars daily. On the KLS&C, we had a low spot just west of Paw Paw. One wet year the water was just over the top of the rail. We had to crawl the trains through. The funny was many times I would see a muskrat sitting on top of the rail. When the train got close enough, the critter would dive into the water between the rails. It had dug under a rail so it could safely swim under water into the pond beside the tracks. Fun, but you don't need that action. Oh, the KLS&C never did what you are planning. So do it now before you have a muskrat laughing at your trains!

You guys are doing great. Since I live in Atlantic Canada, and the cool weather is knocking at the door, may I suggest black hoodies with orange logo... I would buy one of those! Keep up the great work fellas!

Hi Brain; Seen your last video and very impressed with you. The 50 feet of track you are planning to upgrade is a big project. Remember we work smarter no harder. I hope that you are not planning to pull rail, remove ties and spike the replacement by hand. That is hard labor and very dangerous . I remember you bought a same bull. Dozer. That dozer would be a big help. I think a purchase of a back hole would be very helpful. There a products that you fill the spike holes and it gives extra life. Another idea, is to check the price of used ties very new ties. If you really want to be cheap, just flip the tie and respond them. I don't mean to be a pain in the ass. Raymond Ciarlo
