Machine and Space technology have replaced backbreaking labor when railroads rebuild their tracks. This action video tells it all, by comparing trackwork done by the railroads in the 1950’s and earlier with the heavily automated way it is done today. Watch huge machines in action you will see nowhere else.

We first see work being done in the days of steam locomotives and trolley cars. Even then, early track machinery was taking on increasing importance. We watch a well oiled operation to replace wood ties in the 1950’s.

We fast forward to the mid-1990’s, where wood ties are being replaced with concrete ties. The rails are being changed at the same time as the long automated track machine crawls forward. Here is a graphic opportunity to learn about the work you have seen on the railroad in recent years, or to know what is happening the next time you see railroad work being done.
