WoW! World Amazing Modern Railway Construction Machine Compilation. Railway track laying machine

[@SiegfriedPretsch]

What I do find remarkable is that how flexible these tracks are.

[@michaellstrong7127]

It can be very dangerous to those of us working around it as well.... has a true mind of its own!

[@TarmanTheChampion]

They're like jelly!

[@TarmanTheChampion]

And everything else looks like a piece of cake ;)

[@Boobooocittypuk]

I thought the same thing never knew they were that flexible

[@Jesse-B]

There's a lot of technology in rails these days, they have complex layers of hard and soft.

[@bestamerica]

' thank to all train workers are doing great jobs to take cares of the train tracks... be safety tracks

[@fasx56]

It would have been helpful if someone from the Industry was Narrating and explaining the process as the work on the Track was taking place. Enjoyable and informative video to watch.

[@joebidenbites1015]

pretty self explanatory

[@general5104]

I absolutely love watching "Maintenance of Way" operations ! Everyone has their job and it has to be done, JUST SO; for the safety of all trains that use the track ! I applaud all the workers and the camera-person and editor that made this video possible !!!

[@Sasha_Travel_street]

👍👍👍 super.

[@randygreen8916]

I'm amazed at how the railroad's can seem to put down tracks thru hills, valleys, mountains, deserts, over rivers and whatever else seems to get in the way.

True, but, remember that when the transcontinental Railroad was built, the crews That laid the track over the Sierras had to do all the tunneling and excavation by Hand. So it took longer to Put in the tracks, vs the other part which was done On flat land

[@ExtremeMachinesZone]

Incredible to see how technology has revolutionized railway construction! These machines make the whole process look so efficient

[@undeadnightorc]

I would love to play a railway track building simulator that incorporates all the machines seen in the video. Some would find laying down track piece by piece and tightening every bolt a bit tedious but I'm the type who enjoys stuff like that.

[@bobkids009]

Very well documented but lack of explanations for each of the task performed.............A narrator would help to complement this Super Engineering show piece.......

[@1tulip]

True. NO music though!

[@RailwayTV]

I'm from Vietnam, nice to meet all of you guys working on Railway.

[@fasx56]

As mentioned below this would be much more interesting video if there was a good Narrator explaining each step in rail laying and repair. Can one imagine how hard the work was laying rail tracks in the 1860s across America and doing it mostly by heavy labor.

[@bruceperkins7253]

My thoughts exactly. Back Then it was all done by hand & Pick & shovel, sledge. And What's really amazing is they Were laying over a mile a day

[@scootersonlyrepair6773]

It was done by slaves and extremely low paid Chinese workers

[@themanfromcabowabo1559]

Very interesting. Would like to see brief captions of what each machine does, how and why. Also why workers do part of a job by hand and use tools finish it. (IE: the splice bar bolts)

[@trailwayt9H337]

Very Good ideal railway construction 👍

[@RC67010]

These railroad guys sure have some REALLY NEAT toys.

[@1940limited]

Think of the equipment manufacturers that build this stuff then have to sell it at a profit to stay in business. Then there's the skilled operators needed to run it. Don't forget those engineers that design the stuff.

[@monoped8437]

i thought the engineers pilot the things!

[@jasonmarshall7374]

And don't forget the overlooked mechanics that have to repair and maintain these machines! Without them, the skilled operators are out of work and the trains don't move!

Enjoyed every second of this MOST EXCELLENT professional video. Kudos to the Engineers that designed these wonderful machines along with the skillful operators. My beloved late Father worked 38 years on a bridge gang and carpenter for Southern Pacific. R.I.P, wonderful Dad.

[@joebidenbites1015]

worked at ConRail in NJ summer 76. It was awesome. Replaced those ties manually with crow bars, hammers, sweat, blood and me crying on the side. I liked the spike hammer, fun slamming tall spikes and walking the rails. Got to ride the train for free and meet young females coming down to the jersey shore to party. Was a great summer. wish I stayed with ConRail. Great to see all these machines to the hard work precision. You can see why they call it "ribbon rail" as it jiggles like a worm!!!

Wow the tracks wobble around like rubber. It's like rubberized steel.

[@phuturephunk]

I still can't get over how...noodly..rail track is while it's being handled. I mean I always knew it was both tough, hard and strong, but it's still a trip to see it all flopping around as it's being set.

[@johnnycee5179]

[@GreatTime_TV]

nice machines

[@24602400]

In the last days of the Rock Island RR, I worked on tie gang #3. We went to Warren, Arkansas and waited for our equipment to show up. Rock Island put us to work with the section gang. One old white man was the boss and the crew was black. On rainy days the men drank beer and whiskey and played poker. The black guys let the old white man win a few bucks and they made a full days pay,"good pay". We went out in a large van and we all sat in the back, pulling a trailer with cross ties and short pieces of rail. when we did find a broken rail or tie that needed replacing, it was a wonderful thing to see. This was not "ribbon rail"but short rails with angle plates to hold them together. To cut the rail the men would mark the rail on both sides with a cold chisel on a long handle, pull all the rail spikes from the part to be cut, put a jack under the part to be removed, then hit with a sledgehammer. The rail broke straighter than you would think. To drill the holes for the angle plate, they used a hand driven drill the hooked over the rail. Two handled, it drilled right through. When the crew put spikes in the ties, two men set the spikes and the men with spike mauls drove them down with two blows. They rolled the large hammers off their shoulders and never missed. We had spike drivers on the tie gang but watching how it was done in days gone past was a wonderful thing to see.

[@kellyjoiner4418]

Love it!! You... all of y'all that did that back breaking work should be proud. You should write that stuff down. As a railfan, I love hearing about it 🌞

FYI, Illinois Central, change name to Illinois Central Gulf, then to Amtrak. Peace and Blessing for the people who retired and still work for the Railroad, a hazardous and dangerous job. I'm very proud of my Grandfather. RIP!

[@Batman-wv5ng]

Dennis Fisher Imagine doing all this by hands poor workers .

[@rapturebound197]

There was nothing easy about railroad work back in the day. The guys like your grandfather doing this kind of work were either "section hands" or they were on the "steel gang". Your grandfather had to be one tough man. I saw countless guys go to work on those old crews and quit the first day cause it was too hard, dirty and dangerous. They don't make men like your grandpa anymore. He would be proud of you too. ;)

[@johnstudd4245]

At 7:20 you have a little rail riding excavator with a magnetized head picking up the steel tie plates, fumbling with them and setting them back down. I guess in a more convenient spot. Really..... A person walking along could have done it faster and better. I think sometimes we take mechanization a little to far.

[@leopardtiger1022]

Where is this happening? Which company makes such machines for rail track laying? I am amazed at the design engineering manufacturing of these machines. I hues it is used in USA, Europe and Japan.

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

While this seems like a lot of equipment and manpower, I could only imagine the amount of manpower when these tracks were originally laid. Great work by the RR guy's, and good video. John

Onboard custom tools inbuilt into the railway repair coach is quick for use. Mostly taking to a repair shop is difficult. These days the modern trends of railways where the coach is used as a bulldozer and truck and repair floor and tools factory etc is easy. Secondly repairs can be performed anywhere and during rain hazard.

CSX... gotta love the faded colors on the tie gang machines... along with the fact that every other tie is being replaced... I guess from not being serviced at all for the past 50 years. At least NS can afford to repaint their track machines so they are mostly brand new and don't break down every five minutes. There is a NS video on YT that shows and explains every piece of machinery and its function in detail.
