- This was a pretty bad mud spot. In today's video we will get it all fixed
back up so track is in fairly good shape and safer for trains to run on.

Engine noise is the background music we're here for.
Truth
It is like those electric tools review videos where you go to see and hear how it is working, and they put this bad music, so you cannot hear what is happening.
We're here for? Speak for yourself.
Appreciate your taking the time to write in and share your thoughts on the music tsufordman. Majority of comments so far is overwhelmingly saying no to the music. Thank you also for watching the fixing a bad mud spot in the track my friend.
i have to agree with others no music is much better i would rather hear you and the machines its soothing

Uh oh, I think I've detected a CSIS operative. After our railroad maintenance secrets, are you?
Where abouts in Metric-America do you live? I've extended relations and friends who are more like family than blood relations in the Niagara Region. All throughout the Golden Horseshoe, actually.

@@ccrx6700 I know that, Dave! I'm over in the Youngstown, Ohio area. The original commenter used a 🇨🇦 in his comment.
@PrenticeBoy1688 ooops okay 😊
Looper "music" is mind numbing. Just keep up the great educational videos without any music. Thanks Dave !
Appreciate your taking the time to write in and share your thoughts on the music Ben. Majority of comments so far is overwhelmingly saying no to the music. Thank you also for watching the fixing a bad mud spot in the track my friend.
No music Dave, the machinery and your calm, steady & enthusiastic voice are music to our ears. Looks like the hillside runoff without additional drainage keeps everything under the ballast wet & the rock just gets pushed down deeper & deeper while the mud rises. A little coal dust can turn a lotta mud all black.
Appreciate your taking the time to write in and share your thoughts on the music Alro. Majority of comments so far is overwhelmingly saying no music. Thank you also for watching the fixing a bad mud spot
in the track my friend and you are right about the drainage needed,
hopefully we can get that taken care of pretty soon.
Another good one Dave sorry but the music drowns out the engine and working sounds which I love to hear many thanks my friend.
Dave: thank you for making railroading interesting and informative for those who know nothing about it and your enthusiasm really makes it
Appreciate your taking the time to write with the nice comment
TheBounder, glad to hear you are enjoying the videos. Thanks so much for watching the fixing a bad mud spot in the track my friend.
Dave, your videos are so educational and your narration is so well done that no music is required. At least that is my thought and preference. If I want music, I will tune in to the Grand Ole Opry. :) Thanks for sharing your day and educating us on how a railroad works. Also, thanks to your Employer for allowing you to do this. Take care.
Appreciate your taking the time to write in and share your thoughts on the music Warren. Loved the tune in to Grand Ole Opry! Majority of comments so far is overwhelmingly saying no to the music. Thank you also for watching the fixing a bad mud spot in the track my friend.
I don't mind the music as long as the volume is lower than the person talking. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for your thoughts on the music Pete, most folks are not
in favor of it or else turn it down a lot lower. And you are welcome
for the video sir.
It seems like there is always something to fix, shore up, or replace. A never ending job. I think most people have no idea how much there is to do and what an incredible level of knowledge and hard work there is.
Appreciate your taking the time to write in with the nice comment dangercloseusmc. You are right, most folks don't realize what all it
takes to keep trains running, at least these videos are showing
some of what all it takes. Thank you for watching the fixing a bad mud spot in the track my friend.
Super Track. DAVE MAKES A HARD JOB LOOK EASY AND FUN...😊OUR RAILWAY IS NO WAY NEAR "SUPER Dave's. .....But track work is very rewarding....Dave are you like us....After you fix,repair,Change ties,Tamp... Then "THE FIRST TRAIN OVER " IS LIKE watching your Daughter walk for her first time😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤?
That's pretty much it Bradford, I get excited at seeing that first train
over a spot I fixed, that's railroading.....:-) Thank you for the kind words.
Great work Dave. Always interesting to see how these problems are tackled. Know how proud you are of keeping the track in the best shape you can 👍

Dave, Thank you for filming this video about dealing with this bad mud spot and once again making it safe. I have to admit I wasn't a fan of the music. I much prefer listening to you and the rumble of the track equipment...

You provide enough content to where the music isn't needed. Hearing the sounds of the it's actually really cool.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the music Seinan.
Most felt the music was not a good idea. Appreciate your kind
words and for taking the time to watch the fixing a mud spot
show my friend.
Hi Dave,
Always enjoy you videos. (Not a fan of the music when talking.)
When I started in the railways over here in Victoria, Australia we used Electromatic Tampers, these were replaced with Plasser Tampers, both were difficult to maintain and needed a high level of mechanical skill.
Eventually we changed to the 6700s, they were much cheaper to purchase but also much easier and to use and maintain.
I have retired now but never thought of using the switch function on the 6700 to push muddy ballast out of the tie end cribs.
Good work. Cheers Pete.
Appreciate your taking the time to write in with the nice comment and also to share your thoughts on the music Pete. You can go back to
your RR now and share with them a new way to use that 6700.... :-) Thank you for watching the fixing a bad mud spot in the track my friend.
Another great video of track repairs. I really enjoy how you show us the before and after plots. Have a great weekend my friend.

Appreciate your taking the time to write in and for watching the fixing a bad mud spot in the track my friend.
Hi Dave! Great job on dealing with the mud! Tough battle, especially this time of the year.
Per your request, on the music, it it ok, just a wee bit loud as it wants to drown out your voice when you're talking. If you could soften the volume up by about half so you could be clearly heard, it would be better. Hope this helps. Good luck, sir!
And greetings from Southern Michigan!
Appreciate your taking the time to write in and share your thoughts on the music John. Majority of comments so far is overwhelmingly saying no to the music and/or it was too loud. I got lot's more mud spots
to do too..... sigh.... Thank you also for watching the fixing a bad mud spot in the track my friend.
Mud Spot, that about describes my hometown ! Rain and more rain !
Great video Dave 👍👍

Thanks to you and your company for bringing this videos to us 😊
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on the music.
Most didn't like it or felt the volume needed to be turned down.
Appreciate also you watching the video on fixing a bad mud spot
my friend.
I was thinking of you today, Dave, when I was at Metra's (our local commuter Railroad) 47th Shop (used to be the Rock Island Line's) looking at 3000 HP diesel locos in various stages of repair. You would enjoy visiting this. If you're ever in Chicago, plan a visit to one of Metra's shops. I do mechanical engineering and we are putting in new HVAC equipment for this shop.
Appreciate your taking the time to write in and share that Nolan. If
I'm ever in the Chicago area will visit the IRM for sure but will need a tour guide to go down town with.....:-) Thank you for watching the fixing a bad mud spot in the track my friend.
Freeze and Thaw must really make your job a pain! Great video Dave! 🚂🚂
It sure is hard on track Dennis, glad you don't have to deal with that
on the DBRX! Thank you for watching the fixing a bad mud spot in the track my friend.
Thanks for a good job explaining why and how you repair these bad spots. That water not draining away sure messes up your track. They sure are lucky to have you as a track maintenance person Dave. You can tell you really care about the line you take care of. Please keep these really awesome and informative videos coming, my friend!
Appreciate your taking the time to write in with the nice comment William and for sure I will keep them coming! You are right, water
that can't get away messes with my track.... sigh. Thank you also for watching the fixing a bad mud spot in the track my friend.

Hello Dave, another great and informative video as always. I been going through your playlists and watching videos. I was admitted to the hospital Thursday night around 10pm. I’m having surgery in the morning possibly having my 4th toe amputated and bone removed due to osteomyelitis. Looking at 4 weeks of IV antibiotics once I leave here. On the upside I get to watch all these great railroad videos. Take care and happy rails.
Oh wow, that doesn't sound good Donnie. Hoping things work out for
you and please keep me informed how you are doing, we will be
praying for you my friend.
@@ccrx6700 thanks for the prayers surgery was Sunday and it went well. I’m waiting for my pathology results to find out if I have to have IV antibiotics at home. Should know something tomorrow or Thursday. I have a 1 inch by 1 inch and 2 inches deep open hole on the bottom of my foot that has too heal from inside out. My 4th toe was amputated and cut to my ankle about 20 stitches. But I’m in good spirits. God is good to me and has blessed me. Thanks again for the prayers
Blessings to you and your family
@donnieenfusse9038 great to hear your in good spirits Donnie, that greatly helps. Take care of yourself buddy. 😊👍
I feel your pain, our track is a pain to maintain also. Many of the same problems.
Yes sir, we both have our share of problems that a lot of other railroads don't have Michael..... sigh. Appreciate your taking the time to write in and for watching the fixing a bad mud spot in the track my friend.

I bet you and the train crews feel great relief, no longer being paranoid running loads over sketchy track. =) For the music, if I may suggest, reduce the volume of the overlay - maybe by a third or half, as a first guess. Personally, I think your videos are great without music, but I also welcome you to make your videos the way you like to - they're your videos, after all!

Did I mess up here Bruce....:-) Appreciate your taking the time to write in and for watching the fixing a bad mud spot in the track my friend.
Always a pleasure to hear from a fellow railroader.

I see how a little music could help drow out the constant din of the Tamper working. Knowing you have the track blocked out for the day ,you dont worry about contact with Train operations. Hope you get a undercutter . Safe Railroading in days ahead..
Appreciate your taking the time to write in Thomas and no worries about the train that day, the loco was hauling me ballast. I hope we get an under cutter too, but I'm not holding my breath waiting for one....:-) Thank you for watching the fixing a bad mud spot in the track my friend.

Morning Dave that’s a good size mud spot ! We have a couple of those also once we get around to undercutting I will post a video. We just purchased a new machine a Huddig comes with alot of track attachments . Operators are getting trained on how to use.😳
That would be cool to watch the under cutting Ken. We've had Hulcher
under cutter in here a few times in the past. We have looked into
one of those Huddig or a similar machine and it does have a lot
of attachments, but they are not willing to spend the money right
now on one. Thank you for watching the fixing a bad mud spot in the track my friend.
@@ccrx6700 yes 1 million is what they spent on her . Yes we also use Hulcher out here in California
Another excellent video! I enjoyed it!

It's a slow and steady process and the result is very good :) That mud is just nasty stuff :) We can't have sliding track otherwise there might be a derailment. Excellent explanation! I going to check out #3 limestone and see what makes it good for ballast :)
Sliding track is not good for sure Brian. Thank you for the nice comment and for taking the time to watch my friend. #3 makes for
good ballast because of it's size. It locks in to the ties well and also
is good for drainage.
Good clean up 🧹 thumbs up 👍

well Dave coal, is graphite in it’s basic form. graphite is a great dry lubricant , the fines are nasty with water.
💧 they do not realize water acts like oil in some cases. what a great difference having that fresh rock in place.
that will help to keep things well drained and dry. the drier the ties, the better locked into place, allowing the tamper
to stabilize the track sections. at the same time allowing any rain water to easily drain.preventing a mess. oh and
of course graphite is used in pencils ! stay safe, and keep up the great work! Thank you Dave!
You are right about that Barry. Coal does not make good ballast once it gets wet, the track wants to slide out or pump up and down. Appreciate your taking the time to write in and for watching the fixing a bad mud spot in the track my friend.
