I talked to a train crew for BNSF a few years ago when they worked on the tracks in Fullerton, CA. It started raining, and they didn't even slow down. They said the trains never stop, never end, and they liked the cool rain. They work in 120 degree heat, too. Very nice people. My son was so happy that day. He has Autism.
I worked on a Yard Section Gang before modernization. Every bit of equipment we used was powered by muscle, it was steel on steel, spiking hammers shovels to move chat and ties and the good old track jack. We bent track with long pry bars. Man that job really sucked. I would later become a fireman(old days) and man did I love that job, drove a 75 foot straight ladder truck that was a Mack convertible with a straight shift that had to be double clutched. Yeah, I'm old as dirt.
Wow, amazing railroad workings there. One thing I've never even thought about when laying new track is what happens to the old track after lifting and laying on the side of the old track tie bedding.
Fairport's not too far from me but what I like was the guy removing the plates and trains going by about 10 feet away nothing but he looks up for a jet going over! LOL
Real neat video ... No boring spots at all ... Mixed in with some neat rail traffic as well ... Seems like a busy line. Yep watched the entire video ... Great Job!
The goods train clacking away endlessly, could not make out how many engines were hauling! What a time the engine drivers must be having hauling such a long train of wagons! The sheer momentum itself must be stupendous and halting the train must be a task. Pl elaborate RFF. VishG
Interesting where the work crews working on the middle tracks while 2 stack trains meet on the outer tracks @4:45 and lots of bare tables coming up @8:49. Nice catch!
I’ve been working on the railroad. All the live long day. I’ve been working on the rail road, just to pass the time away. Can’t you hear the whistle blowing? Rise up so early in the morn! Can’t you hear the captain shouting? Dinah, blow your horn! Dinah, won’t you blow, Dinah, won’t you blow, Dinah won’t you blow your horn? Dinah, won’t you blow, Dinah, won’t you blow, Dinah won’t you blow your horn? Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah, someone’s in the kitchen, I know! Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah, strumming on the old banjo. Fee fi fiddley aye, oh! Fee fi fiddley aye, oh- Fee fi fiddley aye, oh! Strumming the old ban-jo!
The car with the fas tanks, heat treats the rail, after it has been welded. It is to align the christal structure and keep the rail from getting brittle. Love the video.
That machine is heating the rail to get the correct expansion so that the rail does not buckle or snap due to temperature variances throughout the seasons. There is a formula used so that they know the correct expansion needed based on how long the section of rail is being installed.
That’s the best CSX action I’ve ever seen I’m used to just gevo gevo gevo but u we’re getting EMD YN2 -8’s and more awsome stuff. Great video I subscribed
In the UK long rails are welded under tension & I believe the temperature is taken this is to account for track elongation/shrinkage Is it the same in US? The mobile flash butt welding is neat as it does not leave any flash to grind off like the thermit welding genually used in the UK by Network Rail An observation your track/sleeper replacement seens to be very old fashioned as we have automated it with equipment made by Plasser &Thurber
Do the gang replace the other track on the far side after finishing the track nearest the camera ? In the UK both tracks are replaced at the same time with ballast and sleepers being done at the same time by automatic equipment Good picture and sound you rail system is amazing Thanks from the UK
The rail Hass to be at a certain temperature before it is nailed down !! That machine you did not know what it done it’s supposed to heat the track to a certain temperature to allow for expansion and contraction of the track to prevent it from blowing !
The yellow stuff is a harding liquid that is put in the ties so when they put the new nails in, it has something hard to put the nail in. Also thanks for watching!
Wow just imagine being on the middle layout between both container consists and one or the other would wind up derailing , it would be so terrifying cause the track maintenance crew wouldn't be able to escape.
@@RailFanFanatic Thank you for the video! I like CSX. I have a CSX spur line running through my town in IL. I grew up with The Milwaukee Road, Soo Line, Chicago Northwestern, NS, and others. Since moving away from the Chicagoland area, I have only CSX, which I'm fine with
Hmmmmm. Looks like that rail stamp says 1974 (headloss prevalent) sleepers life expired which probably means track bed is life expired too especially given freight tonnage. Seems an inordinate amount of work using a production system but not being privy to renewal or life extension strategy, it’s difficult to judge. In UK or Europe this would be a prime high output renewal site using a Plasser or Matisa track relaying system (delivering concrete sleepers with Pandrol or vortok clips) and a Plasser BCS900 (ballast cleaning system) with a 09-3x or 4x and crazy regulator following. In the UK, with less than 8hr mid week access to track over 700yds a shift can be delivered - effectively 3 rail strings in length each being 236yds.
So much unnecessary stuff ! There are already machines which change the track and track-bed in a constant movement since many years and here they still work like 60 years ago…!?
Your audio was terrible! You were standing too close to the noisy environment for us to hear what you were saying with any clarity. You need a handheld microphone or a lapel mic.

well oil machine set of guys working amazing to see these guys doing they thing thanks for the video sir
No problem, and thanks for watching!
Excellent video, I like this action. I actually have not had a chance to see this in real life. Greetings from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada!
talk about a hot spot boy are you lucky!!
I am from Connecticut I have to go to Mass. for my train watching about a 20-mile drive.
Real neat video ... No boring spots at all ... Mixed in with some neat rail traffic as well ... Seems like a busy line. Yep watched the entire video ... Great Job!
Glad you like it, and thanks for watching!
i like how the track welding truck ran over the hot weld with its rubber tires.
Yeah, and thanks for watching!
According to my data, this rail machine that you were talking about that was unserviceable is called a rail heater.

There is some of the most amazing mechanical engineering I have ever seen in rail maintenance equipment.
I've also heard that they added one of the excavators which is used for magnetic purposes
cool bro best csx mow video ever awesome good job

Its amazing how they do it make these railtracks, how long are they working on these railtrack.
Yeah, and thanks for watching!
Cool video buddy!
Some viewers may want to know what each step is as it is preformed and the actual hardware used. Like what was that yellow stuff?
The yellow stuff is a harding liquid that is put in the ties so when they put the new nails in, it has something hard to put the nail in. Also thanks for watching!
I am surprised they let kids walk by, cars zooming by, etc.
I would have blocked it all off. Lawsuit central here in California...
Yeah I don’t know why they did that, and thanks for watching!
thank's

Does CSX produce also rail installing machines or these are Caterpillar or Terex or ....etc ? please
I'm not really sure, but thanks for watching!
How much a hour workers get paid
@20:28 "CSX Q711, Loaded Train Train"
"Train Train"?
Should that be "Trona Train"?
Nah it should be trash train, and thanks for watching!
you need a 'dead cat' microphone damper( FUZZY MUFF) , the sound was very noisy.
Sorry about that, thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for watching!
Mexican technology wow
Yeah, and thanks for watching!
taught they have track restrictions when they are workings on the track?
Yeah they do, and thanks for watching!
In this case, RTC issued a speed restriction of 25 MPH.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✌️
Rail replaced, but not ties? Odd.
Yeah they didn't need to done.
