  • Railroad maintenance of way parade! Endless line of track maintenance equipment. What does this stuff do? CSX main line in Latonia area of Covington, Kentucky. Shown going both ways across Grant Ct level railway crossing. Track work was being done in the Wilder Kentucky area. Cincinnati is just across the Ohio River from here. Also, see my previous video of the high rail truck that derailed at the crossing. Filmed May 2, 2019AD. Thanks for watching! Please comment, rate and Subscribe To JawTooth!!

    replacing rail, I saw spike pullers, spike drivers, loose spike picker uppers (big magnetic drum) , the one with the big white tanks was a rail heater, those tanks are propane, the box truck has a rail welding robot in it, the cranes had rail guide rollers. one with the crawler tracks had tanks for epoxy they fill in spike holes in the ties.

      Chemetron truck - electric flash butt welder, clamps on the rail,heats it to melts rail ends then forges it together. Steel gang putting in ribbon rail.

    • @donpollard9460
      @donpollard9460 Před 5 lety

      Now this makes better sense than my effort - thanks to focus frenzy! I didn't think of the rail heater (makes sense, though it could be confused, like I did, with a grinder; the epoxy one makes sense - I would imagine that they would use the epoxy made by Willamette Valley - their epoxy has to used up or it will go off, so they have two tanks of each of the two components and mix as required and inject straight in to the holes. It sure saves tie replacements.

    @jmm2000 Před 5 lety +4

    It's a rail relay and replacement gang. The crew removes old rail and installs new rails on the track. The large off-road crane you saw in the beginning picks up the old rail and tie plates and moves it off to the side. Another big crane identical to it places the new rail onto new tie plates. The machines pull the spikes, another machine carrying heater tanks heat the rail to its maximum heat resistance and it's installed. A van carrying welding equipment and a large welder fuses the end of the rails together.

    I recognised some of these. They deal with track placement, track scanning (I saw what looked like a rail ultrasound machine), spike pullers and sleeper/tie levelling. Looks like they're preparing to fix a stretch of line, hopefully one of the abandoned/disused ones. Very exciting. :)
