Hypnotic Process of Clearing Ballast on 1000 Mile Rail Tracks

[@happycats5195]

I guess 3 minutes of railroad ballast is enough.

[@wallyman292]

I know, right! Here I was hoping for an entire video on just how that monstrous thing worked, and suddenly we're talking ship propellers!

[@vp5]

@@wallyman292 yep absolutely absurd and stupid change. Very very annoying indeed

[@onradioactivewaves]

Ship propellers are amazing, you have to greasse all the thousands of moving parts in a jet engine.

What do ships and airplanes have to do with train tracks?

[@MortonLuvz2drum]

Thanks, I'm not the only one thinking this. I guess this was short attention span theatre. I was prepared to hear all about the machine, the process, and get in depth on who designed it, how long it operates, where, when, .... you know. Specific details.

[@kentd4762]

That RM900 all-in-one machine is amazing.

This is excellent. When I was in the Air Force I was in "Exterior Electric Department". I was a Power Lineman that maintained the base electricity, to include the over head power lines, the substation on base and the airfield power and lighting. Great job, I loved it. Great Video, as always. Thanks

Yes

only a little of this video is about rail roads.

[@MWChainz]

The fact that you used a clip of an LIRR train at 0:28 is cool. The fact that the station is my home town blows my mind.

Which one was it? I grew up near the Massapequa Park train station. Lol

[@V100-e5q]

What do you mean by "relatively new"? These are around for decades now. The first one built in 1948.

[@AFAndersen]

"relatively new" since the first railroad maybe? :)

[@Chris_In_Texas]

4:54 Technically there is only one moving part (without counting bearings) with a bunch of auxiliary systems that have moving parts. 😁👍 Much less moving parts than a standard engine.

[@surlyogre1476]

By "standard engine" he means _reciprocating piston engine_ .

[@mfowelectro]

So! ... That's what hypnosis is! ... 1000 miles of railroad track went by in a flash!

[@richsmith7200]

Amazing contraptions they come up with.

[@PGHammer21A]

And small compact military installations - such as Joint Base Andrews - will have several. Despite it being the home of Air Force One, it has several auxilliary areas where aircraft operate around the clock. On the Reserve Component side alone, you have the DC and Maryland Air National Guard, the Maryland State Police, the Coast Guard, the Park Police (United States and Maryland), MedStar Life Flight, etcetera.

[@aloesecretinc]

Thought for sure ufo's would be covered here.

[@smaze1782]

Wow. Your videos are top notch. Really great stuff.

[@Mumblix]

I always thought that the runways just let the tire skid marks accumulate because every shot I've seen was loaded with them. They must have been new tracks laid down after a recent cleaning.

[@BikerDash]

An educational and entertaining video. They misnamed it, though; it gives the implication that the video is only about railway cleaning and maintenance.

[@johnkennedy3867]

I've watched 4 or 5 videos about various topics and ALL seem to switch over to ships

[@wesmcgee1648]

I love watching these RR machines operate here in KCS country. There's a yard close to me where they store these odd looking things.

Ya interesting video but don’t know why you had to compare planes and ships to the tracks 🤔😜😂

Wait ... what ... clearing ballast ?? OK, got it .... but whats up with the jet engine maintenance training video?? Have the Russians taken over?? Im lost . All adrift. Thanks

[@mike44719]

Wait a minute! Wasn't I watching a video about train tracks?

[@lidarman2]

When I was a kid, it seemed like RR ballast was iron slag chunks but is modern ballast make from slate or something else?

[@kenneth9874]

Limestone

[@michaelnelson7240]

I build the trailers with the engine on it at 5:33 crazy seeing one in use. It’s all government property so everything is referred to in a classified manor.

[@gregparrott]

The rail grading/ballast equipment was trick. The company shown using it was Rio Tinto. They are a LARGE mining company, mostly open pit mining

[@stephenhunter70]

That open pit, starts off as a mountain in nth west Western Australia

[@gregparrott]

@@stephenhunter70 Thanks for the info on location. I saw a video where Rio Tinto also has another, large open pit mine in some remote and extremely mountainous terrain. I don't remember where, but the road just to get the initial material in was treacherous, steep, with lots of sharp turns.

[@stephenhunter70]

@@gregparrott Yep that sounds like em, funny thing though some of their minds you'd be hard stretched to call pit mines. There basically taking the top of mountains.

[@gregparrott]

@@stephenhunter70 I get your point. So, instead of 'pit' mining, they're 'crest' mining, or just plain terraforming the land.

[@davidbwa]

I wonder how many pounds of airplane tire rubber they routinely empty out of that bigger cleaner machine.

[@disciplepullover326]

Well I wanted to see more about the rail maintainer. But I got a conglomeration of other stuff in stead.

[@lawrencehawk5179]

Hey, went from trains to ships & planes. Thought it was about tracks, what gives?

[@cobralyoner]

so.. now we’re just jumping from topic to topic?

[@bobbritten5673]

The machine for spreading the ballast on the track ,called a ballast regulater the ballast witch has been run by a ballast train down the middle of the track the regulater spreads the ballast across and on both sides of the tr ack And the funnel run cleans the excess from the top of the track ties ,for won't of a better word a rotating broom with Brussels 50mil in diammitaer and grads both sides of the track to profile with out rigger ploughs

[@weezyy1945]

crazy how the cargo industry can spend so much money on saving 10% more on fuel and not spending money expanding the couple year life span of the ships and the mass amounts of unclean fuel and engine oil that is dumped into the ocean

Just 1/3 of the video is railroad

[@ohrazda1956]

Fellow viewers.... an old MoP RR Grandy Dancer is writing to let you all know that "hogging out ties", "nipping the rails" as well as "plugging spike holes" will forever be a lost art after these machines reach the U. S of A. (thank goodness!) For those of you who've avoided operating a 'claw bar', a 'spike mall' or a 'track jack', you haven't missed a thing.

[@thomasalanjensen9375]

These machines are all over the USA. Bad ties fall right of the rail under them. Then men need to nip up those ties, plug them, and spike them before dumping fresh ballast to replace all the fines they screen out.

[@TheUprightLuthier-1959]

NOPE. Jet engines have fewer moving parts that most cars. You flucked us again.

[@jackwood8307]

[@dundonrl]

Ummm, modern warships have the same type of jet engines (gas turbines) as aircraft. So not only do they have thousands of parts, they are deep inside the hull, not easily accessible like on an aircraft!
