      There's a similar video (months ago) of Brightline/FEC laying new track in the same way and I wondered then why other railroads didn't seem to adopt this approach. It's good to see CSX doing such an impressive replacement that way!

    Super. BNSF SD70MAC Executive, the Riverboat, the Jeep at La Grange. However the time being taken to repair the Pavements there has upstaged anything that a UK local Authority could ever manage. Perhaps they could ask the Railroad MOW crews to finish it for them.

    • @J3scribe

      Not sure what you mean about La Grange. A couple years ago CSX tore up the street, ripped out the tracks, resurfaced the sub-roadbed; installed new track and repaved the street.

    At 11:28 it is interesting how they put their bucket down on the ground to lift the weight off the machine's tracks at the exact moment the tracks would otherwise be putting weight on the (good) railhead and scratching it.

      Probably the same as the string of old CSX units that were earlier in the video at Elkhart. Likely retired units that are being moved to other lines. Look at the Nashville commuter line. They use retired Amtrak power. the same is true of many railroads. When companies like CSX replace units they sell them to other powers. CN for example gets many old UP units. I've lost count of the times I've seen Canadian National trains coming through my town with obvious old UP units..
