Something you just don't see everyday is a CSX locomotive dragging 1/4 mile lengths of ribbon rail!

Great catch ... I've never heard of doing that but what better way to get a stick of rail where you need it ??? The screeching is enough to curl your toes though, sorta like giant fingernails on a chalkboard 😂

[@espeescotty]

Nice! I've read about this being done before and have seen still photos of it, but this was the first time I've ever seen it in motion. Good catch. 🤠👍

Wow!

[@4kTrainVideos]

Very cool indeed! 🚂😀

"We'll just use a loco and drag the rail down the track. What could possibly go wrong?"
CSX Safety: "You're doing WHAT??!!"

Nice Catch and Gud Loco

[@CJ_Trains_826]

What if it went over a defect detector

[@ЛЬВИНИ]

! Good video, like !

[@georgelugenalt200]

trynna reduce the number of joints. Much quieter, more comfortable ride, less maintenance for both train, and tracks...

[@reginaldbstewart395]

I missed the point of this. Could somebody explain please?
