- In this episode we see a Ballast regulator and Tamper in action as they do a quick repair on a small section of track that has sunk due to pour drainage and pumping. See the video for all the details.

Those machines beat the hell out of the old pick and shovel
Rockin & rollin @ 8 minutes as the train comes into view and over the crossing...nothing like zoom/telephoto shots or videos for showing off the warps in the track :-) Thanks for sharing Tony.
Your welcome, I agree that track unevenness sure does get amplified by a long zoom. Thanks for watching
A technical segment is a great addition to your videos. Interesting machines. Thanks for sharing another Friday vid.
Your welcome, it was just by chance I was there when they did the work. Nice friendly work crew also
Cool Tony well done!
Thank you, have a great weekend
I’ve always appreciated your dedication to both editing, and railfaning. Great work!!! You are definitely on of the best railfaners I’ve seen!
Thats very kind of you to say, Thank you.
@@TonyVRailfanning no probs, i just love watching trains and you are very useful when it comes to entertainment on UA-cam !
4:50 - 5:02 the 'wedge' at the front is called the _plow._ during this pass, the plow is moving the stone into the center of the track.
this will fill in the holes made by te tamper.
Thank you
Tamping a wet bed/crib is merely papering the cracks. That top fault will return quickly. Nice video, hello from Scotland
Hello Thank you for watching.
I’ve always been fascinated by these MOW machines they always seemed so industrial yet intricate and complex
They are unique for sure, built for a very specific purpose
It is surprising how quiet train is. I was walking my dog yesterday by the CN tracks and did not hear two Locos coming towards me. I was below the tracks and my dog was up on the tracks. i had to call her to get her out of the way.
yes, trains make very little noise when approaching.
SEE TRACKS THINK TRAIN
@@TonyVRailfanningnot unless they are in run 8! 😅
Thanks Tony for showing us one of the mysteries of how trains keep rolling.
@@user-tn6on3uz3h you’re very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
The music can Go away boo
That was really educating info, thanks Tony! 🤓👍
Thank you, it was just by chance I arrived there to see this
Awesome video, Brings back a lot of memories working around these machines throughout my 25 years with CP here in the states, I see they use concrete ties around the location you were at? We never used them on the CP around this area only a few steel ties which were garbage so the replaced them back to wood ties. Thanks for sharing this and have a great rest of your day.
Thank you, yes concrete is used about 50% of the time now up here. I does amaze me though I know of an area east of here that still has wood ties that date back to 1972 and are still in ok shape. These ties were put down about 15 years ago and seem to be holding up well. Enjoy your weekend as well
@@TonyVRailfanning Your very welcome and wow they lasted amazingly well especially in the more harsher climate. Sounds like a lot more concrete than we have down here on the Canadian Railroads and thanks much also.
Awesome 👍👍👍 very nice ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks
Já trabalhei com a tampe 😊
@@joaoasabranca9171 thank you
Not the most effective tamping I’ve ever seen. You can tell by the colour of the rails, sleepers and ballast just off the crossing that there is a big mud spot under the track which will come back and bite them in the bum. First rule of good track is getting rid of your water. In Auckland, New Zealand, KiwiRail has many mud spots in the suburban area. They don’t get rid of them properly, as in fix the underlying drainage problem, and the mud spots keep coming back. Some have been “repaired” three or four times.
However, great video. Track machines are fascinating to watch.
Yes, this was a quick and dirty job. They had a lot of traffic backed up because of the delays that they caused just doing this line is busy roughly 50 trains a day so they were going to come back and do a better job later.
@@TonyVRailfanning Thanks for that. It is always a delicate balance between keeping the trains running and carrying out repairs. It certainly is a busy piece of line. Cheers.
Little overcast but another wonderful catch...thx for the maintenance segment....lake still frozen ??
Thanks, the lake will remain with ice till May. Water is slowly showing in spots
