If you've ever hand dug & dragged a tie into the hole (which is never big enough on the 1st try) this is duck soup. /DL |

This thing is fast. The tongs reach down into the ballast, grab the tie and snug it up against the rail. Then a ram pushes a spike into the tie x4. It happens quickly. /DL |

Sort'a like wiggling your toes in the sand at the beach, only different. This technique sure beats the spoon 'n shovel method. Other than being easier on the back the machine will actually lift the tie hard up against the rail. /DL |
