I work at OEM in Wisconsin, our plant built 2 complete trains for loram maintenance of way for Germany, or other plant builds nordco frames much like this one! Always super exciting to see stiff like this!

 

That's cool!!

 

wow had to watch it twice.
were they concrete ties? seems like concrete would break rather than move

 

dont worry, there is still lots of trash to pic up along the highway

 

Unfortunately, we don't see a lot of that going on either.........................

 

I've seen chain gangs in the Carolina's. Not in Pa

 

Most all of the ties on the light rail in Md are concrete.

 

I've never seen the concrete ties. Only wood here.
I never realized how much the rails and ties moved till I was sitting at a crossing a few years back and the train was really long. I was staring at the tracks then saw how the tracks and ties went down as every set of trucks went across.


I really don't think this is unusual or dangerous. I'm just amazed at how much they move

 

We might be in a similar field. My company I work for makes railroad machinery like this, as well as a lot of hydraulic power units on all scales, small to massive.


There's a lot of hydros on that machine.


Plus it reminds me of the queen from Aliens.

Well who do you work for? Any other customers along that line? We have a ton of customers from Halliburton to electric machine company to NATO to schwing cement pump trucks

 

We've got military contracts, so I can't say.

 

Fair enough. Wish we still did stuff along those lines

 

Cool..super secret spy stuff on FHC!

 

Now there is a machine I am glad I don't have to figure out how to pay for! The things we can build, it is amazing.

 

Expensive enough to build, I would love to know what that cost per hour to operate is....................

 

Well it can't be that bad Rotti. What would it take? About 30-40 well trained guys and gals to operate the whole thing? Now. Would that include all the support personnel to keep the material flowing to it?
