Rick Corman was an amazing guy (he sadly passed away in 2013 of cancer). Just imagine that he had to acquire all of this equipment and train all of his employees on how to use it. He is reported to have had 175 different pieces of equipment.
+MrSteeleye Actually the TLM is more efficient IF the ties and rail are being replaced at the same time. This is replacing the jointed rail with welded rail. Because the tie plates were taken up and replaced the new rail is bound to be a heavier section with a wider base or there would be no need to replace the tie plates. The rail is heated to expand it to the mean temperature for this area then the anchors are applied. This will prevent pull aparts and/or sun kinks.
is it a good thing to flex, bang and smack the rail around like that? I want to make the frame of my house from old recycled updated rails!!! completely welded with those metal brackets left exposed for mounting stuff... a steel house on-top of a mountain;-) frame welded with Thermite;-? or one of those newer rail welding systems???
mr.shaw they use thermite to weld the rails together and according to code Firefighters dislike the use of steel or aluminum framing for house's because the think when the house is on fire the risk of Collapse is more evident than a house built with just wood and i have seen how wood stands up in a house fire compared to steel and its down right amazing how the house's that have just wood stand up to a house fire if the fire department can get to it quick enough to save the house's shell but with a steel frame the risk is Greater for collapse than with a wood frame built house.
WELL one way of explaining if the rail doesn't take the banging and smacking then it had a defect,,, No it doesn't hurt it,,, BUT STAY a SAFE distance,,, if fact NO ONE WILL HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT. YOU'LL HAUL ASS,,, WE'VE GOT A BROKEN LEG CALL THE AMBULANCE 🚑
+David Shaw Rail steel would not be a good choice for framing or construction because of it's high carbon content and also the flexability. Beams, channels, I's, and posts are a better choice for construction. High carbon steel is difficult to get a good weld.
j snidow, that’s standard CN procedure to unload a rail train into a pile of spaghetti noodles as far away from the track as possible, and always in mud. As a matter of fact, it’s EVERY Class I railroad’s standard procedure.
Ritchie Mabiza, yeah...how the fuck do you have a steel gang with no swing loader? It defies logic. That guy running that machine threading the rail in was really slow, though. Maybe he was running that piece of crap because the swing loader was down, but he sure seems scared of derailing.
🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿 Rick Corman was the best man ever so stop bashing his company his employees were the best and still are to this day because he treated his employees the way they wanted to be treated and they earned his respect so quit bashing the company

Thank You! You have done a fine job recording the work being done on the Barron sub. Keep it up.
Takes on the aspect of a factory production line. Everything into place and tested as you go
Keep up the good work! I subscribed!
Makes the TLM a super modern machine. Interesting to watch but painfully slow
and in efficient

He is actually putting the new ribbions in for the crew to come take the old rail out and lay the new in!
How do they get those machines to get the spike in the exact spot?
Is that the line in NW Wisconsin that was revived after 20 years out of service?

@@GRE2057 with how quick trusses collapse that's bullshit
They ought ta keep the rail out of the mud holes that way they won't have ta beat it to death cleaning it off...

Inefficiency at its best. In this case, inefficiency has its benefits by allowing a bunch of people to have jobs.
Operators are doing a great job...with no speedswing or new equipment.

El pettibone mucho más rápido y mejor que ese invento para subir el riel
Lippert components don't pay there employees well. Treat you like shit. They don't care about there customers.
