What do ships and airplanes have to do with train tracks?

@MortonLuvz2drum Жыл бұрын

Thanks, I'm not the only one thinking this. I guess this was short attention span theatre. I was prepared to hear all about the machine, the process, and get in depth on who designed it, how long it operates, where, when, .... you know. Specific details.

And small compact military installations - such as Joint Base Andrews - will have several. Despite it being the home of Air Force One, it has several auxilliary areas where aircraft operate around the clock. On the Reserve Component side alone, you have the DC and Maryland Air National Guard, the Maryland State Police, the Coast Guard, the Park Police (United States and Maryland), MedStar Life Flight, etcetera.

The machine for spreading the ballast on the track ,called a ballast regulater the ballast witch has been run by a ballast train down the middle of the track the regulater spreads the ballast across and on both sides of the tr ack And the funnel run cleans the excess from the top of the track ties ,for won't of a better word a rotating broom with Brussels 50mil in diammitaer and grads both sides of the track to profile with out rigger ploughs

Fellow viewers.... an old MoP RR Grandy Dancer is writing to let you all know that "hogging out ties", "nipping the rails" as well as "plugging spike holes" will forever be a lost art after these machines reach the U. S of A. (thank goodness!) For those of you who've avoided operating a 'claw bar', a 'spike mall' or a 'track jack', you haven't missed a thing.

@thomasalanjensen9375 2 жыл бұрын

These machines are all over the USA. Bad ties fall right of the rail under them. Then men need to nip up those ties, plug them, and spike them before dumping fresh ballast to replace all the fines they screen out.
