Never thought I would see the day of a train being literally stacked on top of another train that's pretty epic, I have never seen this before in my life
I didn't know something like this existed yet, but it's good to have a visual record of it in action. It helps with an element of a story I've been developing.
You didn’t seem to notice that the machine itself is riding the rails while replacing the rails, while having rails on itself which are also ridden lol. 🤣
just spent a month in Germany, used trains to get between Cities & regional towns. Also went on the ICE train - Inter City Express @ 300kmh. Now I understand why the ride was so smooth.
I work with this machine in the UK. An average week night shift will produce 200-400 metres of rail replacement. A week s shift will produce double. There are more than a dozen different working positions. A worker is responsible for any errors or breakdowns. The engineering is in charge.
In the 1860s the crews building the U.S. transcontinental railroad once laid 10 miles of track in a day, a record which wasn't broken for several decades. Of course, they used hundreds of workers.
I work for a small railroad contractor in the US. Im still pretty new to RR and this just blew my mind. The track maintenance crew we have for our RR is living in the stone age compared to this 😂
@@3sierra15 Well, the question is of course HOW the track was laid. Back then it was not even close to any railroad engineering you see today. Some wonky tracks and a very light axle load. Additionally, it is a difference if you have to build a line through tightly populated areas.
I worked on some railroad tie replacement, gravel spreaders, etc., 25 yr.s ago, I thought it was impressive but this is 100X more. No wonder some nations are wealthy.
Was für eine interessante Technik! Und dann dieser Zug auf dem Zug, sowas habe ich noch nicht gesehen! Echt klasse Aufnahmen! Daumen hoch! Gruss inselvideo!
MY BAD I MENT TRANSFORMERS AS THEY APPARENTLY HAVE MORE THAN ONE OF THOSE JOINTS. CAN'T IMAGINE THE LOOKS ON PEOPLE'S FACES IF NEW YORK CITY TRANSIT EVER GOT THEIR HANDS ON ONE OF THOSE!!!!
Because the stupid, lazy and self entitled people want it that way. The rest of us functional types are grateful beyond explanation to live in the world we do today because we know enough about our past to never want to go back there.
Super Video über eine wirklich geniale Technik. Auch die 'Züge' auf dem Zug finde ich einfach klasse. Hoch interessant, diese Technik durch dein Video kennenlernen zu können. Daumen ganz weit hoch für dieses super Video. Gruß Unimedien.
Wow the future .... I remember being kid in the early 90's reading popular mechanics . And dream of devices that could let see the person you're talking too
My first job out of high school 1989 was maintenance of way . We used machines on the main line but, small sidings were done by hand ... rail and tie . Ties - plates-rails-anchors-spikes and ballast were hand bombed . This machine is incredible, would’ve saved a bit of back pain 👍
That is absolutely sensational, if l hadn't seen it l would never have believed it. This is engineering at it's best. It appeared that the machinery may not have been designed or made in the US. Regardless of who thought this through from drawing board to 3D ,it's phenomenal. WOW and double WOW!
James Burnside I can see this comment getting taken way out of context. Just want to post a comment, just in case hahahaha. Some people like to see the internet burn.
I remember years ago having to gut bust the sleepers in and out and hammering in the dog spikes, hard work. It's good to see wood being replaced by concrete. Those removed wooden sleepers are worth a lot of money on the "used market".
CSX Had a whole pile of new ones next to an old spur in my neighborhood. They never used them, they sat there until they no longer looked new. And over time, people in pickup trucks would get a few and make off with them until they were all gone.
@John Bower Surely we should not deliberately be inefficient and wasteful. Building transportation systems at lower cost means more people can afford to travel.
@John Bower That's what they said when the industrial revolution happened and when electricity became commonplace and when computers became commonplace. It was a bad argument then and it's still a bad one now. Either you're implying that these people are too dumb to re-train to another job or not worth the investment of training them.
@@elanjacobs1 Historically your counterargument would have been more valid, however these days it's not worth training them because practically anything you could train them to do can *also* be automated to the extent that most of them won't be able to find work in that field. Even the Service industry is being hit. Does that mean automation is bad? No, it just means we're going to have an industrial society that requires a lot less people to maintain it, which in and of itself is good because most countries wealthy enough to afford gear like this are below-replacement levels of population growth.
@John Bower A lot of the jobs being automated are completely monotone or just plain harmful to health. Is it a good thing, that none has to do them anymore. Automation is also the reason that things are affordable in the first place. Almost none would be able to buy a car or mobile phone if the factories weren't full of robots. Without automation in farming a lot of people would go hungry. The lost jobs are a social problem, but holding back on automation is not the solution. Things will have to change in the future. Like a universal basic income or taxes on robots in facories.
It's been 15 years or more since I heard the old island train commuter . I hear you loud and clear!! Hopefully those clowns can get the thumb out of the butt . Amazing, less traffic ! , easier time going to Victoria and Nanaimo !!! Maybe even ComX valley would be amazing!! 👍🏾🇨🇦 ..
You will never ever see another train run on Vancouver Island. the Snaw-naw-as band in nanoose have the entire Island corridor foundation tied up for years with insurmountable litigation costs. SVI will never not keep it in care and maintenance perpetually as that is the agreement made under the E&N and Robert Dunsmuir land and mineral deal. If you own land in the corridor to this day, you will see on the land title that E&N mineral rights still very much have effect.
Graham Bruce is at the helm, did you have any doubt? One of the biggest politicians around to talk and make you feel good. Yet 10 years later just excuses and no results. What did you expect?
Sorry to interrupt, just wanted to voice my envy towards you guys who live on Vancouver Island. What a great place. Went there as a tourist two years ago - Banff, Jasper, Vancouver Island, totally fell in love with Canada. Coming to Quebec and Ontario later this year for the indian summer. Greetings from Germany!
Kids, THIS is awesome. Everything about this is Awesome. When someone turns up with a pizza, that's not awesome THIS is. Imagine the people who designed that? Wired it, programmed it.....
Das ist ja mal wieder ein Klasse Technikvideo!! Sehr schön, Daumen hoch! Der ganze Zug war ja ewig lang so wie es hier aussieht. Ganz klasse, mit einem Schmunzeln, der Zug auf dem Zug. ;-)
Was für ein interessantes Video mal wieder von dir. Ich finde das Klasse wie die Schienen fast vollautomatisch verlegt werden. Schon heftig wie lang der Zug ist und es ist alles dabei was man braucht. Daumen hoch für das Video.
Vielen Dank für deinen netten Kommentar! Ich hätte den Zug am liebsten auf einen freien Streckenabschnitt aufgenommen, so dass man die komplette Länge hätte überblicken können. Aber das war dort leider nicht möglich.
this whole setup is absolutely incredible!! But what does it ride on, another set of rails? And if so don't they have to spend the time laying all those rails for it to work on or is it something they just leave there to renew these tracks every x amount of years or something? Either way it was fantastic to watch, thank you for sharing
While new rail work was being done on the Amtrak NE corridor in New England, I saw the results of this technology, though not the equipment. It was side by side with older low speed rail. What I was more concerned about was that the replacement "spikes" like twisted bar, were only engaged onto the rail about every sixth sleeper. Is that the norm? Narragansett Bay
So this machine rides the existing rails, then picks them up being them, picks up the old wood tie, puts a new cement one in its place, then outs the same rail back on to the new tie? Fascinating
Und wer nach Plasser & Theurer SVM1000 sucht, wird die Variante zum Neubau von Gleisen sehen können. :) Ziemlich interessante Maschine meiner Meinung nach...
I like how machines can do so much and make life so much easier, and this is a truly satisfying video to watch, but I don’t like it if humans get too lazy and too Dependable on mechanics and rely on them to do so much.

The speed it carries shocks me the most.

How else would they transfer the (new) concrete, (old) timber sleepers? 😉
I was planning to take quick glance, but ended watching a whole video jawdroppingly..
Me too, watched it twice. I've never seen anything like this.
This is just amazing. Fascinating and addictive to watch.
A railway that rides a railway that picks up the old rails and lays down the new rails. Now, I think I've seen everything.
You didn’t seem to notice that the machine itself is riding the rails while replacing the rails, while having rails on itself which are also ridden lol. 🤣
Look up the auto Bridger, making span bridges
Just Geno Ya that thing is cool.
Someone even made one out of LEGO Technic.
It looks like it only lifts up the rails to replace the wooden base in a concrete base.
I think the rail itself stay there

That is amazing. Recently been volunteering at a local historic railway and it took us all day to remove old and lay and spike just 12 new sleepers.

John Davey looks like Europe
Its Germany, Egestorf :)
The company "Matisa" from Switzerland built this machine!
Only companys in USA know how to make good stuff so i think that company just put its name on the side but baught it in USA.
@@greenlawnfarm5827 you forgot the kappa mate
I'd like to see how they did that on a switch. Also, how are the rails not stretched out when they put them back?
Looked like replacement rails being put down ?
Wow! I've seen the type of removing ties machine but the rail thing that brings new concrete ties is insane.
That "shuttle transport" looking piece of equipment is cool! Looks otherworldly. 👽
In my opinion this probably wouldn't have looked half as cool during the day time. Awesome video.
What an amazing display of engineering! Wish I could stand there and watch it pass by.
Incredible video! Fascinating machines and the fact that you were able to capture all of this at blue hour makes it look amazing.
Amazing what man has built o do his work better and with less effort.
And lives

I’m not the conspiracy type, but some things are beginning to make me think we really did steal technology from space aliens at some point.
MoneyManHolmes I mean it did take thousands of years to get here. Aliens did jack shit
Man has built a machine to put other men out of work. Automation at a high price.
Absolutely awesome!!!! Picking it up, and laying it down, all at the same time.
Best part is nothing gets wasted those sleepers being removed are worth good money.
Usually not sold to anyone and are incinerated in a modified power plant.
Kansa City Shuffle now, see, that’s a waste. That’s good fence lumber. Won’t rot or degrade.
@@kansascityshuffle8526 Hmm different story in my country they are used for garden boxes and surrounds and are worth 60 bucks a pop.
In my country they where an environmental hazard, as they had been soaked in creosote to prevent root. So no selling of old sleepers.
Fetguf in America too, those things are toxic.
This has to be one of the most spectacular machines ever created
Germany ftw! 👍
be careful saying that around certain people...
@@graniteamerican3547 Fuck those "certain" people
Marv _ that’s in America too bud, AMERICA for the win!
