Railroad Hi-Rail Basics

Ever think about how they put those regular road trucks on to and off of the railroad track? Here are a few in action.

Used to build and align hi-rail trucks back in the early 90's.

A little practice makes perfect.

Try putting the log truck on at a farm crossing 😅 in the rain 🌧

So hydraulics to raise and lower the wheels, but is there any drive train going to the rail wheels? And if so is it a U-joint connection or CV?

Well if the guy in the big truck knew how to drive he wouldnt have to back up and go forward that many times, I had one at work way bigger than this and got it on the tracks in one shot
