They have a welding plant where strings of rail are loaded than have a shark nose attatchment at the beginning of the rail to feed it threw each roller till it hits the length of 1300 ish feet then same process is repeated I worked on these and they’re awesome to deal with
Thanks for your inquiry, Cubs Fan22! To answer your question - not quite. The Rail Unloading Machine (RUM) is a road-to-rail vehicle that drives to a pre-determined crossing location to get on the rail. Once mounted atop the track on its hi-rail wheels, it attaches to the end of a rail train consist. The locomotive is what powers the entire consist pulling it along the ROW. The RUM then functions as a hands-free unloader. Via the machine's crane, the RUM operator grabs sticks of CWR out of the rail train and guides it through the machine for final placement on the ground next to the track.
Thanks for your comment. However, Herzog does not build railway locomotives. We do build specialized maintenance-of-way equipment such as the Rail Unloading Machine (RUM). Check out our equipment at www.herzog.com
@@TeimonKauppa739TeimoJake Yes, all of our railcars (rapid discharge cars , side dumps, gondolas, flat cars, and GPS & solar ballast cars) are stenciled with the Herzog name.
Our gang can unload 2 to 1 against this ! We can unload a 50 pocket in that stated time which overstated ! We observed and participated in a demo of this CONTRACTED outfit . Slow set up and a slow grueling unloading process , not impressed .
I'd like to see how they load the train
That's what I'd like to know. Always bothered me.

This thing can move an entire rail train? Did i hear that right? Like a 40 car set?

@@HerzogCompanies that makes 10x more sense. The more i thought about it the more i figured it had to be pulled by a locomotive. Pretty cool though.
Ok very good 👍
may you build a railway locomotive like a AC6400CW

Pretty easy when you’re dropping it all in one spot and have sufficient track time
