Corvair Ragtop right off the bat. Nice. I bet that guy setting down the ties wins every time at the Crane Game at the fair.

Truly, truly amazing watching that track renewal segment at Ashland VA. Thank you, thank you...👍👍

Thank you for the super close-up shots of new ties replacing the old. Beautiful long shots to let us really enjoy seeing the skill those MOV folks have in doing a great job. Best VR repair shots ever!

@donnaj9964 Ай бұрын

The ponderous delicacy of the track-repairing equipment was simply fascinating--and the music was (as always!) perfect. The parade of MOW equipment was pretty cool too, and it's always nice to see the Rocky Mountaineer. Thanks for another great one!

@PreciousFifi Ай бұрын

Wow, fascinating to watch the railroad tie replacement. My great-great grandmother used to work laying down railroad ties. That was back in the early 1900s, so they didn't have this kind of equipment to do the hard work.

@tytn9978 Ай бұрын

Watching the replacement of ties is a fascinating way to spend a few minutes!. The inventive machinery that does most of the work is something to behold. It is yet another tribute to human beings' creativity at is most useful.

MOW parades always take me back to Close Encouters of the Third Kind when all those ships came into the scene, pretty far out...the rollout of CSX 1875 led by another heritage is sick! Who'dve thunk fusion jazz would pair so well with tie replacement...I digress. Happy Days VRF.

Why is that jump in the Frog at Chehalis

@abpsd73 Ай бұрын

It's called a lift frog, the siding traffic wheel flanges go up and over the main rail, that way the main line doesn't have a gap in the main rail like a conventional frog would have. Eliminating the main rail gap allows higher speeds, no "clack clack" noise, and less maintenance versus a gapped rail that would be pounded into oblivion with high traffic.

That is the conductor and he will be using his radio to give car counts and other information to the engineer.

@@joeylawn36111 yes he has to hold on with one arm and use the radio with the other while watching out for slack. Sometimes conductors ride the point for a few miles and do it in any kind of weather.

Looks like a red flashing led to act like a rear marker instead of a flag.

A lot of conductors will carry these for added visibility on shoving moves, or when shoving back to stationary equipment at night to be able to see the equipment and judge distances more easily.

The bad thing about having all those classic vehicles in Chehalis, is that when the Cascadia Subduction zone tears loose, everything west of I-5 "will be toast." I pray that the owners of said classic vehicles live east of I-5.

@stephenhudson8739 Ай бұрын

Why don't they just hook all those m o w equipment together and make a single train it would probably save a little fuel
