"Sleepers" being the British technical railway term for such things. Whereas in the U.S. they tend to avoid "Engineering terminology" and used crude descriptive words such as "Tie" because a sleeper "Ties" the rails together !!!
*Using this machine is like conducting a symphony of efficiency. It responds to my commands with such precision that every task becomes a harmonious collaboration between man and machine.*
The loram rail grinder especially if it's equipped with all the cars on it if you watch late night is so cool and kinda scary as well, it looks like something straight out of hell when it dark out lol
Like it or not "metrics" is a result of letting a French Bishop introduce the ancient Egyptian measurement, renamed by the French as a "Metre" in the Middle Ages. Which is a "Base 10" or "Decimal" system like most currencies. "Feet & inches" is a "Base 12" system, so mentally more complex !!
That ship sailed long ago. It’s used by most of the world - only the USA, Myanmar, and some small island nation use anything else. If you think the world’s going to change back for you, I have several bridges to sell you. 🙄🙄🙄
LIVING IN THE STONE AGE ??? Ugh you've only just discovered modern Railway plant machinery ? British Railways had equipment like this back in the NINETEEN SIXTIES (1960's). Obviously you Americans have no knowledge of the World Famous manufacturer of such machinery, based in Austria called PLASSER & THEURER. Who have over 3000 Patents relating to various types of track maintenance & relaying equipment. This company dates back to 1953, and set up its London subsiduary "Plasser UK Ltd" on 14th March 1960. Indeed as a Railway Engineering Student I was getting my "practical" experience on British Railways overnight track possessions, operating many types of complex track laying & testing machinery from 1973, most of which had to be computer aided to get precision alignments to within ONE MILLIMETRE. Your obviously NOT a "Permanent Way" Railway Engineer, as a number of your descriptions clearly do not understand what is being done & WHY. For example the "Rail Grinding machine" at 6:19 is necessary to maintain the shape of the railhead at a precise angle to match the angle on every trains wheel treads. If the two angles (Rail & wheels) do NOT match precisely you will start experiencing "Hunting" of vehicles at speeds over around 40mph, which frightens passengers, and can damage fragile or sensitive Goods. In a "worse case scenario" it can lead to train derailments !!!
Railroads are profit driven. Think: They reduced operation crews from 6 people down to two, soon to be none at all as remote control trains are operated. Remember that in the 1880's, congress had to pass laws to get railroads to use the Buckeye coupler and air brakes. It was cheaper to send employees to heaven than to add the equipment. When railroads in the US do or don't do something, the reason is usually "Money".
It is so enlightening to hear you refer correctly to railways and rail sleepers.

And if you believe that, your on a path to disaster, in the Mechanical Engineering World of Railways !!
great stuff

Hey
Wahat about Huddig from Sweden.,
Enough with the metrics
I AGREE 100% WITH YA ! THE GLOBALIST CAN KEEP THE METRIC SYSTEM !!

@@railwaymechanicalengineer4587 I still think that metrics is pushed by the Globalist! The Globalists are done now ! Thank God !!

Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge and experience in the railway engineering field. It's always great to learn from experts like you!
