Rail Grinder Starts FIRE, RAILFAN Puts it Out! All About the LORAM Grinder, D&H Northend

We take a look at one of the strangest trains ever, the LORAM rail grinder. I explain how the machine works and why it’s important as we chase it south along the Canadian Pacific mainline. Intense grinding action is observed at Ausable Beach and a small fire is started at Wickhams Marsh, a railfan quickly putting it out. We finish the chase at a new location in Port Kent along Lake Champlain.

Nice capture of the rail grinder. I have worked and piloted these machines when they came onto our territory on the CP throughout my RR career. Neat machines for sure.(Steve)

You should see what those railgrinders look like at night, like a sparkler on steroids!

Hey, I should have added, have a great time at the Amherst show this weekend! I made my arrangements to go to the TCA's York PA show in April. All the club members keep saying "You gotta go to York! You GOTTA go to York!" OK, I'm going, I'll see what it's all about.
