I must say.....I like your videos more than the other guys. The way you film all the engines and explain "foreign power". the distance you stand, others stand too close. You let us count the cars.

[@SWTexan82]

the first two train sets were the Georgetown Rail Equipment (now part of Loram) dump train, the first set was a dump train and the second set was the "dump train for curves" The cars at each end of these are conveyors for unloading. The herzog cars were just ballast cars, they can dump ballast along the track using special GPS software but these and the GREX trainsets serve two different purposes.

[@ChainsawNW1218]

That Horseshoe Curve is beautiful! A railfan 's dream for a picnic and incredible scenery. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@Moocowthegreat]

[@skimmer8774]

I watched a video above that Herzog's train in action and boy do they create a cloud of dust as the train is moving while depositing the ballast.

[@thomasmackowiak]

Thank you for uploading this video of trains that you captured south of Tyrone, Pennsylvania in Antis Township and at the Horseshoe Curve. I think those Herzog cars with the conveyor belt are used to take ballast out of the tracks and either use the conveyor mechanism to shoot the old ballast off to the side of the track or load them into the ballast cars. Wide World of Trains has a video showing this train in action on CSX in the Dunkirk, New York area.

[@LIVEEYES]

You're wearing a jacket and it's 113 degrees here in Texas....maybe I need to move north. 😂

[@jkurtz601]

Hi Jawtooth That blue car is like a sifter . It cleans the dirt out of ballast so the roadbed has better drainage from the rain .Theres a bunch of them that works together . One has wheels that take up ballast next one sifts the dirt from rock ballst . Dirt is removed to side from convaor belt . Then clean ballast is put back in place on sides of road bed . Doing this every few years extends life of rail road ties .

[@marka5478]

This is not a ballast cleaning machine. the conveyor belts unload the ballast; there is no cleaning involved. However, this Herzog equipment is used in conjunction with a ballast undercutter, as I have witnessed on NS's Lakefront line in Cleveland.

Great video I saw one on a video of those cars it's a blast cleaner I believe but I could be wrong to . One conveyer throws the junk way over to the side of the track and there was two on it so they then divide the cars some yellow on each and some of the others on each

What energizes these crossing gates JT?... from both directions on each track.

[@JawTooth]

They have sensors on the track and those little silver buildings house the electrical equipment and batteries

[@cp368productions2]

That won't be that pretty blue for long. 3 4-axles highballing on the main, it's like going back to the 80's or 90's.

[@janfinkbeiner2486]

Thats Tipton crossing west of Tyrone, PA on #1 track. Thats my old CR territory as Track Supervisor in Altoona. The first set of ballast cars are hydraulic and remotely operated by one employee. The second set of Herzog are called Enterprise style ballast cars which are unloaded manually. The conveyor units are normally used in Undercutter situations. My quess there is a big project needing a lot of ballast, conveyors & an Undercutter most likely.

I mean, if you're gonna name a rock... almost all could do better than the odd-sounding 'Herzog'. So, it comes to me here then, way down here in México, as little surprise that you'd find 'odd' track maintenance of way equipment there. Ya just gotta follow these things through logically and dispassionately. I know I do and sleep well at night. Gracias por tu video, Señor Jaws. RT sends, Puebla, México.

The first set of cars and equipment is Georgetown Railroad (GREX).

[@JCWise-sf9ww]

[@ScottMichael82]

The train with the three GP38-2s is the local out of Altoona

[@ebf82234]

The unique-looking yellow hopper cars and the blue cars sporting conveyor belt "arms" form an integrated system of ballast distribution called a "dump train" by its owner (and innovator) Georgetown Rail Equipment, a.k.a. GREX (reporting marks). A continuous conveyor-belt system runs through the entire "string" of yellow GREX hoppers, delivering ballast to the blue conveyor cars, for distribution of ballast along adjacent tracks. FYI, GREX was acquired by LORAM in 2018. The Herzog cars that that compose the rear "third" of this train are not associated with the GREX consist...Herzog cars distribute ballast directly onto the tracks they ride on, either manually by personnel walking alongside the cars, or by electronic commands from the train operator (note the solar panels atop each car). A very unique catch JT...👌👌👍🤌

I saw one of those strange-looking ballast trains in Fort Payne, Alabama once. There was one engine pulling it and it had one of the blue cars on each end with a bunch of the yellow cars in the center. Oh and I do believe the point of those cars is that there is a conveyor belt that moves the ballast to the next car in line, all the way down to the blue thingies, which deposit the ballast into whatever piece of equipment is laying it.
