Not the first train that they showed. That is specifically a High Speed Grinder. And it is actually designed to run at track speed while grinding the track, as opposed to many maintenance trains that run much slower. This means the HSG train doesn't disrupt service as much as it can be fitted in around other traffic. instead of having to shut the stretch of track down.
Don't get too close when one of these rolls by. They emit the worst smell of burnt transmission. The smoke is really rough on your lungs and makes you cough until out of breath
I used to work near the Conway rail yard in Pennsylvania and it's along a NS major main line, so I see the grinder trains often. And yeah, the stink really bad and leave a wake of smoke.

Salvaging the bearings is such a good idea, good bearings last a while but also cost a pretty penny.
I sadly suspect its more for scrap metal, as the way they ram them out can damage the bearing races.
@@Leforge360its still ok, it's high quality steel and is absolutely cheaper than making more raw iron/steel 🙂

Emergency stops are relatively sparkless
Isnt it more smoke than spark with an emergency brake?

I was gonna say i watched a few documentaries about the age of steam and it seems that smoke happened more then sparks

Rail grinders are the best bush fire starters. There's usually a water tank with a water cannon to deal with them.
Don't they so them seasonally? In the spring or summer down south and winter up north?
LORAM has hy-railers (usually two) follow their grinding units to watch for flare-ups and brush fires.

Makes sense this way. Both easier, smarter and effective. Interesting seeing this method

The Rail Grinders often have sprinkler cars that follow to put out all the fires they set in dry grasses trackside

If it's near a dry area a second train with a water tank and water cannons follows to fight any brush fires.
Water trucks always follow our machines, we do a fire risk assessment, we all do 10 hours per year of wildland firefighting training and the large machines carry a minimum of 50,000 gal of water on every shift
They should have a sign on the side of the train that says "it's okay. Track grinding in progress".
That would stop alot of 911 calls on the train.
