when i see how they pull out and insert the wood, the soil looks pretty loose. How do they make sure every ft of the rail is straight and leveled and won't sink?
Most tie gangs will have what’s called a tamper and a regulator. A tamper grabs stone in the crib and puts it under the ties to lift them up, while a regulator will broom stone in the cribs to fill them and pull the shoulder of the track in to secure them in place so they don’t move
Such a cool process.To bad a guy can't get the the used ties for landscaping.Asked workers about getting them before and they acted like I was a criminal,lol
Very crude and basic machines for rail work, comparing with we have here in Europe. I am surprised to see that kind of basic machines in such an advanced country as USA

Bet the preventative maintenance on that machine is truly mission critical…..
This is really labor intensive in thé Netherlands we do the exact same thing with only one machine and 2 people
That was me from 1:40 through 2:20 on the tie crane

This is a small railroad. The Class 1 railroads have large/extremely efficient tie replacement gangs.
Thanks for watching!
This should be done by hand by no more than two people.
Oh my God! Did they really replace wood sleepers with wood sleepers??
You mean wood ties

Это же НЕВОЗМОЖНО!
Missed a few. Not uncommon; people don't really care because they have the job for life.
Sad cause railroad company I work for we do this shit mostly by hand
