Thank you for sharing this awesome video providing insight into what’s involved in maintaining a safe railroad operation.
Thank you Curtis for watching
That machine pulling those spikes out is so cool! Never seen it before. Same as never seen ties pulled out by machine either! What a fab video Spike❤😊👍
Thank you Carol for watching
And the machine does not need pension or blue cross!
I love seeing the uber special equipment in use by the MOW crew.
This Equipment does ALL of the Heavy Lifting for the MOW Crews. Weak Minds and Strong Backs are Not as Critical as they once were Thanks to New Equipment.
Nice footage of NS MOW equipment operating!🛤🚂
Thank you for watching
That's cool. Enjoy watching the MOW. Have you ever seen the Amtrak MOW installing cement ties.This whole process is 1300 ft. long.Pulls the spikes lifts up the rail ejects the old wooden tie and installs a cement tie and clamps the rail back on to the cement tie.They are working in Lancaster county Pa. as of now.
I have seen some videos of the process.
Norfolk Southern has Pried Opened their Thick Wallets and starts a Healthy Mtce. Schedule. 600 Million Payout to East Palestine, OH, got their Attention. 🤪👎
It wasn't a track defect that caused E. Palestine. It was a hot bearing that was wrung off.
Great catch of MOW work. Those machines are always fascinating.
Thank you for watching
What a unique catch. It isn’t every day that you can witness this type of track maintenance operation on one of your frequented train spotting locations. I would speculate that ties on street running locations are more vulnerable to rot because drainage of the track structure may not be as effective as higher open ballasted ROW, plus things like road salt from winter road deicing would also contribute to deterioration. I’ve seen ties and timbers pulled from railroad/road crossings that were thoroughly life expired after only a few years of hard use. Even with mechanical help, this is still tough, physical work.
The cool thing about this video I only had to drive a couple of blocks to see this action. Thank you so much for watching
Hi The Railroad Tie Spiker & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks The Railroad Tie Spiker & Friends Randy
Thank you for watching
That was a nice close-up look at tie replacement under less than desirable conditions. The compacted ground and decayed ties really hinder this compared to those Mainline projects. However compared to no work being done at all every little bit helps
It was really nice I could stand on the sidewalk and get really close shots and the crew was very friendly and professional.
Informative video..Enjoyed it
Thank you Rick for watching
Awesome! I just visited Greenwich and caught CSX MOW truck picking up ties by the Dimond. there is a new one sitting close and i wonder when there gonna replace it.
I haven’t been there in a while. That would be cool to catch them replacing the diamond
@@therailroadtiespiker your definitely right!!!
Good that they're still replacing them I know you did videos when they started doing it
It’s taking them a long time to finish
Must be tough to decide of all those crappy old ties which few they will replace.
I think it was just random. They did tell me they were going to have to completely rip it all up and replace them soon.
Nice coverage here.
Thank you Kevin for watching
Grabbing ties, pulling out sawdust.
Yes they were coming out like dust.
Every time they work on that line, the ties they pull out are splinters…
And there’s so much dirt in the ballast how could water drain out??
@@kraz904 I was told that this section of track hadn’t been worked on in over 20 years.
