The steel rail is a critical and valuable asset for the company, however all that weight running over it everyday causes wear and deformation. The rail grinder uses mechanical and or laser sensing detects these deformities, dips and wear then grinding stones are moved into place and reform the rail to it's proper shape. This brings the rail back to it's peak performance and increases the life of the rail as well as smooths out the train ride.

I wouldn't expect it back on this track for many years. Mainlines get ground every year or two.

@pianomanmaestro brush fires do happen some times. but they have aprox. 45,000 gallons of water on the train. and they are spraying water down on the track at both ends of the train.
