A 'switch grinder"? Yes, I'm familiar with one of those. My parents would use a switch to grind my tookus when called for back in the ancient world.
One of these days, I'm going to see a train coming from or going over the track to the left where they converge/diverge at your usual spot. I'm not going to hold my breath.
Well, hot dawg!! Glad to see that you're still chiming in Dave.. Long time, no hear.. I know what you mean about (good) parents in the old century.. Watch the first 15 or so minutes of video [T-72] and you'll get your wish.. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/2ECJ730LneI/видео.html
That was neat seeing some of those cars on the K82. Less than eight miles away is an industrial park and in storage are some of those patched CN & ICG hoppers. Then those Cargill covered hoppers are currently being rebuilt at the Rocky Mountain Railcar Repair facility in Tooele UT. Easy way to tell if it has been overhauled is the frame will be painted grey. Great catch!
I hope to see this one day
Just seen it last night here in Cheyenne Wyoming. Around 530 am. It was sitting on a siding.
I first saw this beast about 5 years ago grinding away on UP rail in the middle of the night. I originally thought the train was on fire, I had never heard of a rail grinder. Quite a sight to see.
Indeed.. Thanks for the memories.
That is the best way to watch them. They really put on a show then!
I lived about 250 yds. from the UP's curving main line thru south central Oregon. The Grinder was a regular sight about every 18 to 24 months. Always stopped what I was doing to watch it come through!
Those must be nice memories.. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve never seen those rail grinders before. Very neat to see it on your video. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us!
No problem, Hyatt.. Thanks for watching.
Excellent..! first time to see a Rail Grinder and fresh - ground rail...Great video...your commentary much appreciated.
Thanks Shivas
I saw them in South Fork PA I got a picture of the switch grinder
These machines are amazing and impressive
Yes they are.
This is the AC/DC hell’s bels express
You got that right
Just seen it in haverstraw, New York.. on the CSX river line. Saw the two units and some track crew trucks.
Cool.. Makes sense as long as it's in the northeast.
I am surprised at how rough they left it. I am of the understanding they can grind the profile as well, were the flanges would rub. A few heavy long trains and that buzz will be smoothed right out. Would be nice to see the working parts of the grinder.
awesome
Thanks Sean
it's up here on the Hudson line near Albany, NY and moving towards the Boston and Maine line
Ok.. Thanks for the update.
Thanks AC. Love that sound of the train over fresh grinded rail.
Thanks Jason.. Me too!
That is one heck of a machine. Thanks AC.
No problem, Ed..
Awesome watching that machine at work.
Indeed it was.
Loram was in Roseville CA yard last December of last year doing it fine operation as it does
That's right.
Wow! That was incredible! Loved that close up of freshly ground rail. I hope to see one of those around here one day...
That would be nice but with the low traffic you say is there, I wouldn't hold your breath.. You typically only see these machines on heavily used mainlines.. In a situation like yours you'd probably get the older, hand-me-down rail that was swapped out from a busier line.. If you ever get the "T" in your area, then you might be able to catch such a machine.
@@Trains21 Well we got some news about the T the other day. Once again we were promised it will be completed here by 2022. (Yeah,sure.)
Awesome video, AC!
Thanks, Scott.
very cool
Thanks Phil
Loram has ran Sacramento California Sacramento sub on bnsf/Union Pacific out in town of my last summer too
Cool.
Another quality video!
Thanks Fireman.. Gotta check out your page to see if you caught any new RBMN.
Rail grinder was on CSX line, heading west out of my area may 2019
Nice Job AC!
Thanks Tim! You still holdin' it down there in the capitol region?
super video bro
Thanks Man.
I saw it driving to clark summit coming down. Sadly I didn’t get to stop. I was considering running down because I knew you would be out and where to a pin point. Sadly I didn’t. One day I will run into the Mose elusive railfan of NEPA
Haha.. Looks like I'm becoming too predictable.
Trains21 not yet. But just like the Bismarck/ red October basically haha
That grinder is a beast. I assume that is a traction assistance as well as a cleaning process. I also assume the new rail was laid before that went through. As for the K82 video I had a huge smile as you rushed to set up. This time about 20 seconds early and with a flat on your bike you are a real treat in more ways than 1. Keep it up AC keep it up always bro.
Thanks Robert.. It's a pleasure having you chiming in.
Nice video! I have seen the Loram in person before.
Cool.. Something to see isn't it?
Superb catches. The wheels will sing now. Excellent video AC. I was wondering. That rail that they dropped off. Is that going to replace the rail next year? My brain is have a hard time understanding why they would grind the rail first then replacing it.
My best guess is that when they replace it they'll use the old rail on another lower priority main line like a secondary or a branch.
Ive never seen a railgrinder before hoping i see one on the Lehigh Line thats the line i railfan almost every Saturday and Sunday
That's one of NS's most heavily used line on its system so there's bound to be one out there at some point.
Legend had it that K82 didn't really exist. Now we have proof however.
Yep.. It most certainly did exist, and still does.
Sorry about the flat AC.....but A Big Thanks for the Awesomeness👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks for the concern!
Also what are the tank looking cars? I'm guessing fuel?
Water.
I drive past the Loram Shops in Minnesota everyday and it seems as though there's a brand new unit waiting to be shipped. I believe that the unit will be shipped to the west coast before heading to Australia.
(Edit) I can confirm that the shiny new yellow unit does not say Loram on it, but instead has the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) logo on the side.
Cool.. Thanks for that little nugget of information!
Thanks AC. Why would they be grinding the rail here when it looks like they are about to replace the rail??
When it's replaced, the rail will probably be used elsewhere on a lower density line.
It's more of a thrill at night
Yes it is!
I saw one on the D&H once when I was getting off work at Mead Westvaco in Sidney, it was 11:30 at night and what a racket! The ground was vibrating!
I had to watch the video again. The Loram rail grinder was on NS going through Westfield, New York and heading west on May 24 2019. On May 31 it was heading east on CSX going through Westfield. I just finished my video of the grinders working on NS.
Nice.. I'll be sure to check it out.
I take it that the water cannon puts out any fires Sparks ma cause?
That's right.
How often do rails need grinding, and what or how or who decides it needs to be done. And then how do they determine that it's been ground enough?
The busier the line, the more often it gets ground.. My guess would be that track maintainers make the request and it goes through the chain of command and is either approved or denied.. The grinding machine has sensors.. The tank cars hold water for putting out fires caused by the sparks.
AC do you know of any videos that feature what it's like to drive or ride in a rail grinder?
I don't, sorry.
Well, I ain't never !!!
:-)
What good does it do to grind the tracks? I would like to see the tracks up close before the grinder gets to your location and then the tracks after the grinder has done it's thing. Just curious. Thank You! in advance. June 24, 2019
The grinder reshapes the rail head to a rounded shape.. After thousands of heavy trains pound over a section a rail, the rail head gets flat and loses its shape thereby creating more wheel to rail contact/friction, therefore making it harder to pull the loads.
@@Trains21 Thank You! Ever so much, now I understand. June 25, 2019
Just curious, do you ever run into hobos on the Sunbury or other lines?
No.. But I have seen a couple of train riding teens.
Why grind the rail there when it looks like there are brand new continuous rails laying on both sides of the track to be installed???? I don't understand?
When the new rails are installed, the old rails will be used somewhere else.
*what year was this video recorded?*
2019
new switch and new welded rail...... Double track? siding? Welded rail s not common for a customer siding
Replacing the north switch of the Steamtown Wye..
They know how to waste money on the east coast railroads too. They are grinding rail they are about to replace e with new ribbon rail. Interesting.
I thought the same thing.. See above reply
How do l get the actual layout of the track grinder machine in order to model it?
You could try looking it up online.
