- Here we see the first part of the Easter weekend engineering works at Glenageary. This first part was removing the old track on the southbound line and replacing the ballast.
Need the guy just talking on his cell phone to push the remaining gravel out of the cars....
Cutting across inhospitable terrains yet uniting the hinterland and cities; come hell or high water the railways are truly a lifeline. Working without recognition or awards they are truly God's chosen few❤
Interesting viewing, thanks for your time. Curious why those trucks aren't fully dumping, hands-in-their pockets boys should be on to that?
you mean why not dump all the trailer at once ? most likly is the Hydaulic system not up to operating more than one trailer at the time , such trailer need a lot of power to get pumped
@@martindonat3249 - no; he means why didn't they FINISH emptying each wagon, instead of leaving ballast in the corners which prevented the doors from closing. That could well mean the ballast wagons were out of gauge, and could hit lineside structures or Permanent Way staff.
@@jackx4311 I highly doubt they are out of gauge. Things like that monitored quite stringently
1 guy working and 5 guys standing around watching... 😕
That is the reason why the rest of the world cannot match the Chinese in building anything. Those people go to work to work and there are no ff... ng unions.
The hi-rail dozer is pretty cool - not seen one of those before.
Wondering why the railbed is cut so deep into the landscape.🤔 It seems the side unloaders don't work very well with ballast. A small amount remains in the sideloaders, preventing the lids from closing completely.
It does. In 2020 they used Hobbs wagons instead of the trucks for the last part which was better
A two-way UNIMOG, great! Greetings from GAGGENAU, the home of the UNIMOG
Be interesting to learn who came up with the concept to retro fit diesel trucks with hydro-powered rail wheels to convert land to rail vehicles. In my twenty years on the railways i saw them many times, but still thought "Wow", when i saw them. I like the massive side tipping ballast trucks. The railways were always good at concept vehicles to do one particular job, but does it very well.
I am interested to. I must reasearch
That is a very old thing.
Even the first cars were used as trolley cars, equipped with railway wheels.
During the Second World War, some countries went one better and equipped trucks with interchangeable wheels - there were the wildest constructions.
After the Second World War, someone started to install a lifting and lowering mechanism for track guidance on vehicles that could run on the rails with their rubber wheels - such as the Unimog - and could transmit drive and braking forces through the rubber wheels - and the two-way vehicle was finished.
I think it would be difficult to find a defined "first manufacturer of road-rail vehicles". It is probably a fact that during the wars all the military administrations involved seemed to be concerned with this topic.
Zostało trochę kamienia i nikt tego nie wysypał leniwi ludzie
I have watched this excellently taken video and it is such a pity that the photographer couldn't be given proper access to the site (Health & Safety). Comments have been made about the number of orange suits standing around "doing nothing". These are supervisors hose jobs are to instruct the machine drivers, ensure that the workers are coordinated and to step in immediately to sort out problems. What you see is a very very complex operation in coordinating a large number of machines, all simultaneously doing different jobs and without getting in each others way. Space on the site is very restricted and without proper supervision chaos would result. This mechanised method of track renewal is fast and efficient. Before mechanisation, there would be around 300 manual workers digging with pick and shovel, it takes 10 men to lift a short length of rail into position on to the new sleepers which have already laid out manually. Not only that, how do you "accommodate" hundreds of men on locations usually in the countryside a miles from anywhere ? By "accommodate " I mean proper onsite facilities to modern standards such as canteens, toilets, buses to bring the men to work and to bring them back to wherever they stay the night. I hope that this puts what you see, into perspective. John Hughes.
Very nice captures !! This is a really interesting operation to see. James.
Yes it was
Great work. New safe tracks. How long will they last before next re-fit? 50 years + ?
I think at least 20 Max years id say unless something happens to that section of rail.and it needs to be replaced earlier.
@@Irishtransportspotter yes nice footage you got cheers.
Welded continuous track has a 30+yr life with mixed traffic, can't imagine they're putting jointed track back down, lot of investment over there in railways I hear, hopefully you'll keep getting us good vids like this one.
I doubt that it will last very long. They obviously don't put any drainage in, but put the track bed in standing water. Doesn't look very durable.....
As long as the rock ballast is free from small particles the water would
Run out from the fill without problems .
That there is water below doesn't madder so much if the rail bank is
Made up of non capillary fill.
The place they have filmed in seems to be a cut into bed rock, maybe blasting the rock again to the degree that water runs of is not practically atchivibal.
I would think they clean the old ballast and reuse the suitable fraction s in it ,if the rock is good enough.
There is also a possibility that there a drain pipe under the cable channel on the side. (the grey strip)
Super video! Nice captures with rail machines in action! Thumbs Up and Subscribe
Greetings from Dublin
Andrew
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it
I was there watching some of the work as it was going on.
That Unimog pulling the whole train of gravel AND powering the pneumatics of these carts to tip them
two line rail why not use another train to load and unload from ? this seems a very slow and costly way of doing things
Interesting that it’s build upon a concrete casing
9:21 The locomotive is a Mercedes Unimog
Definately not their 1st time 👍
It's a good foundation 👍
hands in their pockets , thats working lol
In Ireland it is yeah 🤣
I couldn't help noticing those straight pieces of preassemblies track pieces in the bend. Is that Irish irony?
I have no clue
They looked like the old track panels that had been lifted, ready for the new sleepers and CWR to go in?
Never seen Unimogs being used before.
This side of the Irish sea, we use Cl.66 locos and a rake of JNA wagons with roadrailers to unload ballast.
Interesting video nonetheless.
Ververy interesting
Love It there was a shot there eight people just standing ,doing nothing
Ik 🤣
Must hire you in my human resources dept FGS.
How great is this Irish technology in the construction of railways!
Good. Well maintained
It's not Irish technology at all. Only thing Ireland has invented was Guinness
Wieso werden die Anhänger nicht restentlert?.
Looks very amateurish.....
You're ALL fired.... now why didnt you dump all 8 boxes at 1 time.... you cant fix ........
Don’t have enough hydraulic oil pressure
Отстой какойто.
Typisch England oder Irland. Technisch um Jahrzehnte zurück !!!
@Kraber50 - Also, sagen Sie es uns, Meistervolk; Wie kommen Sie jetzt mit der Macht voran, nachdem Sie Ihre Atomkraftwerke abgeschaltet haben und beim Gas völlig von diesem verrückten Putin abhängig sind?
begorrah!
@Mike Britcom - Oh, FFS . . . *NO* Irishman ever says 'Begorrah!'
19:17 "Zweiwege Unimog" rocks 🦾
Never seen it before and it looks great
@@Irishtransportspotter this looks greater 😅

Absolutely brilliant video !! Even MORE enjoyable when played at 2x speed. John Hughes.
