Saw this type of railroad equipment here in town laying a new track and was awesome to watch. My brother also worked for AmTrac for 36 years and loved his job doing maintenance for the line crews machines. Keep the Trains rolling along !!!

Very professional rail editing,very engaging videos

[@mapo5976]

What would be great is to see the logistics involved in loading this marvel before it gets to site. Maintenance on this machine must be paramount. One component not working stops the whole ride.

[@thesteelrodent1796]

the machine is self-lubricating for the most part and has sensors on every moving component, both so it always knows if everything works properly and so it only needs to move parts (like the claws and chains) when necessary, but it still has like a thousand points that has to be inspected every few thousand hours. They are however built to run for many thousands of hours before needing anything replaced, and P&T prescribe preventive maintenance - that is you replace bearings and hoses and the like before they wear out to ensure it doesn't break down on a job. Loading/offloading materials isn't all that interesting - that part works just like any freight train. Honestly never heard of any of these machines fail, but many of them travel all over Europe to maintain tracks because only a few rail lines have their own.

[@mapo5976]

@@thesteelrodent1796 Thank you for the reply. The sheer logistics involved in every aspect of anything to do with this machine is off the charts. (From my perspective) like you say the refitting of hoses,seals, etc. Maintaining the run of it. Even getting the beast to site across Europe to where it needs to be. The crew. The training. Feeding it to do its job must be an enormous industry. Intriguing and awesome machine. I admire the ingenuity that created this beast from idea/concept, design, manufacture, creation, and finally to being used to develop industry for the greater good. Wow...... I'm so impressed.

the rail itself bends like a noodle at these lengths, and the bit that picks up the rails and ties and puts down the new ones can be shifted sideways to compensate for the curve.

I assume a sleeper anotger word for tie? If so, why are they replacing them? The new ones look identical. Finally, do these machines work just as well on a curve?

[@jimsvideos7201]

Yes, sleeper and tie refer to the concrete parts. I'd guess they're being replaced because the clips for the rails can't be re-used? I can't say for sure about the curves but one sign on the machine indicated the tightest curve it could go around, so I assume it can work on them.

[@davidbagley1783]

How long do the concrete ties last?

[@adamabele785]

70+ years at least for today's products. For older ties there is no definite answer because it depends on the amount and kind of cement used, the gravel used, the humidity, damage by freezing, and other factors. In the '90s there was a machine in East Germany that would use accelerated cement and pour the ties on the fly at the same speed as the tracks were laid. The train could use the track one day later. This was a very elegant way to build railroads quickly at low costs, it needed far fewer logistics. Unfortunately, these did not last very long, they needed replacement after some 20 years because the rebar would corrode. In the 90s sometimes the wrong type of cement was used and the result is that these also need replacement after only 25 to 30 years. Today the concrete and gravel are specified and the process is supervised to ensure quality and longevity.

[@donmoore7785]

This is fascinating. The only part I don't understand is the how the rails are handled. Maybe I missed it.

[@adamabele785]

Earlier another train places the new tracks in the middle of the railway. The first part of this train drives on the old track, in the middle section the rails are separated from the ties, the old rails are lifted and bent sideways to allow the replacement of the old ties, then the new rails from the middle are lowered on the new ties, the old rails are put on the sides of the railroad and collected later or maybe the last part of the train also collects the old tracks and cuts it into pieces of the standard length of 120m. Sometimes the old track is just bent back inwards and put back in place. The material is flexible enough to allow the process.
