    The ponderous delicacy of the track-repairing equipment was simply fascinating--and the music was (as always!) perfect. The parade of MOW equipment was pretty cool too, and it's always nice to see the Rocky Mountaineer. Thanks for another great one!

    Wow, fascinating to watch the railroad tie replacement. My great-great grandmother used to work laying down railroad ties. That was back in the early 1900s, so they didn't have this kind of equipment to do the hard work.

    MOW parades always take me back to Close Encouters of the Third Kind when all those ships came into the scene, pretty far out...the rollout of CSX 1875 led by another heritage is sick! Who'dve thunk fusion jazz would pair so well with tie replacement...I digress. Happy Days VRF.

    • @abpsd73
      @abpsd73 Месяц назад +1

      It's called a lift frog, the siding traffic wheel flanges go up and over the main rail, that way the main line doesn't have a gap in the main rail like a conventional frog would have. Eliminating the main rail gap allows higher speeds, no "clack clack" noise, and less maintenance versus a gapped rail that would be pounded into oblivion with high traffic.
