Wow! What a system!
What a great feat of engineering .... making the complicated look so simple.

Nice to watch the folks in the UK laying track, with Plasser Theurer (Austrian) made equipment. You didn't notice the front bumpers?
But a good job and do thank you for posting

A really fantastic method of doing a job that would require many days and lots of manual labor to do before and now get it accomplished in a matter of minutes. An absorbing video --- thanks for sharing.

That was great! Thanks. I have seen trains to fix the track but nothing quite like that. I volunteered replacing ties at Heston IN. There were 8 people on the crew and we replaced 10 ties all day. We had all the old hand tools and it was a lot of work but it was great.

No date stamps to collect here. Always interesting to see
how things have changed. I used to be the luckiest in town
to get to ride a caboose occasionally, or once to be allowed
to climb up on a loco and the engineer let me pull the bar
that began to move that iron horse...i was too speechless
probably to even thank him but he was probably aware it
would be an unforgettable experience.

Extremely interesting. My son works for a rail road as a yard master. I've not seen that kind of work being done before - again, very interesting.

Sure different over there how they do it than how it's done in my area. A lot of the trackage in my area was just redone in the last 2 years so I spent a little time watching how it is done here. Thanks for sharing.

Wow - my son-in-law works for Ft. Carson's railroad system on post. They still lay ties by muscle! He's gonna turn blue when he sees this! Thanks, DP.
