Raised on U.S. railroads as a WWII kid. Steam Trains and 'Gandy Dancers' were my life. Walked the rails with Hobo's. Gandy's were overwhelmingly Mexican's. Lived in converted boxcars on the sidings. All 'Danced' to the orders of a bi-lingual, absolutely huge and powerful, German or Irish Foreman. Same on every section. End of WWII, Mexicans that had Not gotten educated and Citizenship, were all sent home. Returning troops took their places. History, Live it, to really Know it..

I work with this machine (actualy, I'm the man in blue in the beginning 0:58) This machine is the P93 LS. It was build by Matisa, a Swiss company specialized in railroad construction machines, 20 Years ago. It was bought by the Belgian railroad in 1994. It does about 300 meters per hour. It is not the only one, there are a lot of newer and older track renewal machines working around the world.

Let me explain a few things: First you see the P93 Track laying train (and its annex WP93) and the C75 ballast cleaner both made by MATISA, a Swiss based company. Then a SSP203 ballast regulator followed by the 09-3X tamping machine, both made by PLASSER&THEURER in Austria. All the machines you see are owned by Infabel, the manager of the Belgian railroad infrastructure. There are many of these and more recent versions working around the world. Check out the websites of the constructors.

Maintenance on the automated equipment probably exceeds the effort to lay the rail by hand? Re-lay a turnout or cross and really impress me. In all, however, one IMPRESSIVE collection of machinery!

I was on the first of these machines (It's called a P811) used on the Burlington Northern RR back in 1987 in Washington State. My Union agreed to a joint contractor/Union member project way back then. And we have been upgrading tracks and replacing wood ties for concrete ever since with this machine.

@LivingSquirel I'll try... 0:00-0:57 picking up concrete ties and transporting to the tie machine. :57-1:35 replacing the old ties. 1:35-1:55 final alignment of the new ties. 1:56-2:14 pulling the rails back in line. 2:15-2:49 clipping the rail onto the ties. 2:50-2:56 putting the old ballast back in place. 2:57-3:31 loosening up and replacing the rest of the old ballast. 3:32-4:02 detail ballast application. 4:03-4:51 tamping the ballast under the ties. 4:52-end topping off ballast.

@sliceman420 Like I wrote before: This one is caled the P93 LS made by the Swiss company MATISA in 1993 and owned by Infrabel, the manager of the Belgian railroad infrastructure. There are many of these and more recent versions working around the world. Actually in almost every country where they have railroads (even China has at least one P95). Another company specialised in railroad construction machines is PLASSER&THEURER in Austria. Both are lonely at the top in this branch.

@rolandvia This crew appears to be just replacing the ties and ballast. The train picks up the rail and spreads it so that the ties will roll up the conveyor without being hung up on the rail. After that the new ties roll down into place of the old ones. I would love to see them when they finnaly start to lay high speed rail.

Seria excelente se o Brasil voltasse a investir em ferrovias. Cairia o custo de frete, e isso refleteria no preço final dos produtos que consumimos. Fora que muitos produtores teriam espaços em outros mercados. Além do transporte de cargas, o transporte de pessoas também beneficiaria o país, pois você viajaria com mais segurança e conforto.

Nota-se Overpelt fica na Bélgica. Perfeito. Trens é um dos mais eficaz, econômicos meio de transporte tanto para carga como de passageiro. BR no passado havia muito trens, hj infelizmente as concessionárias não "permitiam" mais que isso ocorresse. Um vagão de trem de carga, tira 7 caminhões da estrada. Melhoraria as condições da estrada, acidentes com caminhões por mostoristas usarem medicamentos para manter acordado, diminuiriam e muitas outras citações. Perfeito esta construção de ferrovia
