Bet the preventative maintenance on that machine is truly mission critical…..

[@braadharrie]

This is really labor intensive in thé Netherlands we do the exact same thing with only one machine and 2 people

[@daveschmitt4499]

That was me from 1:40 through 2:20 on the tie crane

[@Vortigan07]

Those boys are swift workers!

Wonderful video

[@whoeverwhoever400]

when i see how they pull out and insert the wood, the soil looks pretty loose. How do they make sure every ft of the rail is straight and leveled and won't sink?

[@Hecknobrothermang]

Most tie gangs will have what’s called a tamper and a regulator. A tamper grabs stone in the crib and puts it under the ties to lift them up, while a regulator will broom stone in the cribs to fill them and pull the shoulder of the track in to secure them in place so they don’t move

[@alankluttz4400]

Very COOL

[@timbales3652]

Such a cool process.To bad a guy can't get the the used ties for landscaping.Asked workers about getting them before and they acted like I was a criminal,lol

[@kmoney2650]

The companies end up selling them. Usually a decent price though if you ask

Very crude and basic machines for rail work, comparing with we have here in Europe. I am surprised to see that kind of basic machines in such an advanced country as USA

[@DogRedful]

This is a small railroad. The Class 1 railroads have large/extremely efficient tie replacement gangs.

[@RJGUTTERS1]

Thanks for watching!

[@ttaakkeellaa]

how he is able to see the exact tie to be worked from within the car

[@stevenbuell5387]

Good question

[@mookygravano3924]

This should be done by hand by no more than two people.

[@MarioStahl1983]
