I heard a loud noise coming from the railway in London at 2 am and I looked and it was one of these. It was crazy seeing it for the first time.

What's it used for?

[@marktucker208]

They grind the rails to reprofile them back to their original shape because as they wear they change shape ever so slightly. You can grind them back into shape so that the track doesn’t need to be replaced as often
