I guess 3 minutes of railroad ballast is enough.

@wallyman292 Рік тому

I know, right! Here I was hoping for an entire video on just how that monstrous thing worked, and suddenly we're talking ship propellers!

Ship propellers are amazing, you have to greasse all the thousands of moving parts in a jet engine.

Thanks, I'm not the only one thinking this. I guess this was short attention span theatre. I was prepared to hear all about the machine, the process, and get in depth on who designed it, how long it operates, where, when, .... you know. Specific details.

This is excellent. When I was in the Air Force I was in "Exterior Electric Department". I was a Power Lineman that maintained the base electricity, to include the over head power lines, the substation on base and the airfield power and lighting. Great job, I loved it. Great Video, as always. Thanks

I always thought that the runways just let the tire skid marks accumulate because every shot I've seen was loaded with them. They must have been new tracks laid down after a recent cleaning.

4:54 Technically there is only one moving part (without counting bearings) with a bunch of auxiliary systems that have moving parts. 😁👍 Much less moving parts than a standard engine.

And small compact military installations - such as Joint Base Andrews - will have several. Despite it being the home of Air Force One, it has several auxilliary areas where aircraft operate around the clock. On the Reserve Component side alone, you have the DC and Maryland Air National Guard, the Maryland State Police, the Coast Guard, the Park Police (United States and Maryland), MedStar Life Flight, etcetera.

The machine for spreading the ballast on the track ,called a ballast regulater the ballast witch has been run by a ballast train down the middle of the track the regulater spreads the ballast across and on both sides of the tr ack And the funnel run cleans the excess from the top of the track ties ,for won't of a better word a rotating broom with Brussels 50mil in diammitaer and grads both sides of the track to profile with out rigger ploughs

Fellow viewers.... an old MoP RR Grandy Dancer is writing to let you all know that "hogging out ties", "nipping the rails" as well as "plugging spike holes" will forever be a lost art after these machines reach the U. S of A. (thank goodness!) For those of you who've avoided operating a 'claw bar', a 'spike mall' or a 'track jack', you haven't missed a thing.

@thomasalanjensen9375 Рік тому

These machines are all over the USA. Bad ties fall right of the rail under them. Then men need to nip up those ties, plug them, and spike them before dumping fresh ballast to replace all the fines they screen out.
