The new tie inserter lets a 2 man crew do several dozen ties in an afternoon. This dingus lifts the track up and shoves the new tie in while at the same time pushing the old tie out.# The guy on foot clears ballast out of the way and puts the tie plates in the proper attitude to the rail 'n tie before the machine lets the track back down. /DL |
