Neat video! Happy New Year to you all!

good job!!

[@01ripkirby]

Excellent video. Not much surfacing lift but plenty of cross level. Did not see any joints being tamped so must be long rail lengths. I was interested in seeing if the rail clamps slip off the joints and if the operator was double tamping the joints. The machine is being used in the auto index mode so good production but sometimes makes double tamping difficult. Also does not appear to be using the curve liner. Geoff Cox
