WOW such a complicated procedure, such huge honking equipment. All this must have been a field day for inventors and engineers. A wonder it all works. Who knew they used cement ties under the tracks? Not me. Who knew they call the rocks ballast? Not me.

Very interesting! I watch train videos all the time with my 3 year old grandson but didn't realize there were videos on track repair/replacement. Not sure he'd sit through it, but I'm going to find out!!
I hear you on that on my 25 I'm currently 29 birthday I drove spikes only 4 39 ft lengths by myself! I had huge blisters on my hands and yes I did wear gloves
Would be even cooler, if they figure out how to take the old track and smelt back into new track while they are replacing it on the fly. Is it me or does the new track they put down look even rusted more than the old track they took out?
Mark Walter The rails will always have surface rust when exposed to the elements. The reason the rails get replaced has nothing to do with rust, but the fact that they are worn out from years of wear and tear from heavy trains rolling over them. Only the outer surface rusts to protect the inside. They do the same thing with many bridges where the outside is designed to rust so that the inside of the steal is protected and it eliminates the need for painting. The rails will over time develop stresses and may begin fracturing, and eventually you get a broken rail if it is not replaced. Here in the Northeast we have what is called the Sperry Car which goes along the railroad right of way and x-rays the rails to find cracks and if a bad section is found, the section of rail gets replaced immediately as the track gang follows not too far behind.
+Matthew Balch Wild, I never knew that! Curious passerby here (I know nothing of all this, but I see them working the rails all the time by where I live)... I remember being told that a rusty railway is used less frequently than tracks that are shiny. So are tracks always rusty now, then (after reading what you wrote)? Or do trains rolling over the track remove the rust anyway?
You're spot on with the last part. If you look at the old rail that was removed, it has a shiny rail head from trains moving over it. The new rail will have a shiny surface on the top in no time.
One of the two tracks is taken off line and the system runs on a single track over a 10 mile stretch for up to nines days while one track is replaced. It's explained in the video. There isn't enough right of way to accommodate three tracks and why go to the expense of building and maintaining a third track when the volume can be handled by two?
+Andrew Gems the track is probably bumpy due to the ground underneath moving due to "frost heaves" (the ground underneath freezes solid and expands slightly (ice is 3% larger than the same unit of mass of water) the ground expands unevenly, and distorts the railbed.
Spent much of my life living about 100 yards from Amtrak's Northeast Corridor, with a direct view of the tracks. Saw this operation taking place a few times, but never understood exactly what was going on until I saw this video. Fantastic! Thank you.
Great video. They are doing the rails by my place, but are not using concrete ties. I watched a small excavator unload ties as he crawled ontop old cars.
Brings me back. What a great album!
Good show!
Is this the most modern trach renewal system in USA? Looks very yesterday to me....... ;)

I like it nise super

Very informative
That was so well narrated, best l have encountered so far. Great job, thank you.
CAN THE COLLECT ED PREVIOUS RAIL LINES BE TEMPERED / TREAT-- ED & RE USED ? ? ? ? DENVER FOWLER

So they, remove the wooden ties and put concrete ties? So they replace with concrete?
It lloks like the cement ties go under the tracks, but it sounds like they use wood ties too, but in a different position.
Awesome 👍🇺🇸

My God they put a railroad on top of a railroad Has science gone too far?
Logging railroads in the east have done that for years.
I was totally amazed! I had no idea that the railroad made such great use of automation. Great job!

If it wasn't for the epa. Wood ties would still be in use.
Absolutely fantastic video! Extremely interesting to watch plus the explanations answered most of my questions. Thanks for making public!
Îlove! ✌️️😜
cool video man
Best video on this topic so far. Awesome.

Hey you guys need to volunteer that machine at the Downeast Scenic Railroad. LOL We are doing that by hand, oh my aching back!
I hear you on that on my 25 I'm currently 29 birthday I drove spikes only 4 39 ft lengths by myself! I had huge blisters on my hands and yes I did wear gloves

Some UK heritage lines have a training agreement. Some new machines are tested and operators trained.
Excellent video!
06: 12 hey look !
very smart people run railroads

Nice, have seen this work crew but was not sure what the exact deal was. Thanks for sharing

With this equipment available it makes me wonder why Calgary's Light Rail Transit is so bumpy and crooked right after completion and never corrected

Ties? You mean sleepers?
Yep, we call them ties over here in North America.
Yes, we call them cross ties or simply ties in North America.
exilfromsanity Ah, see we call ties, sleepers in the uk & ireland, and we call the bits that would the traack in the chair ties. Very confusing!
that's americans for you

Nice job Darrell!
Hi,... Very nice video and excellent track job as well. Thank you for sharing. Edd

That so COOL!!!
I heard about track rehab machine name "Pony", What is it about?.
Great video. They are doing the rails by my place, but are not using concrete ties. I watched a small excavator unload ties as he crawled ontop old cars.
COOL!
That's what cp needs
This is awesome!!!
at 4:58 Is that a giant stereo system? So the crew can hear some tunes? It looks like speakers.
dit is zo mooi uitgedacht en prachtig om te zien werken, .... in zaandam heb ik dit mogen zien , geweldig .
I DID SUB TO YOU CHANEL
This is Amazing !!! VID
SWEET!

great vid !!
This is wonderful!
nice one...
