- Views of a 'Boojum' (my nickname for a set of railway tracklaying machinery) along with accompanying rail-carrying train and locomotive progressively laying track and then moving onto it. The line it is laying is for the Borders Rail project, and the location is where the Borders Rail project has just re-joined the trackbed of the original 'Waverley Route'. The loco is 66736 and it was all filmed in a couple of hours on 13/10/14.

Fantastic getting an old railway route back into service. There are so much more that could be reopened in the UK as well.
Absolutely fascinating video. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to make it. I really enjoyed watching it. It's great to see the Waverley route reborn.
Worth watching thanks for your time.
It may look like they're standing around, but each one is in charge of a critical part of the operation. Look closer, and you'll see them handling their tools of the job, maybe not 100% of the time, but that means they are available 100% of the time and don't have to stop another job in the middle of it's operation.
Interesting. . .thanx for sharing
Very interesting film.
Very interesting to watch, except for too much of one thing. Wish we could have seen some of the other details besides the train, like how they remove the rollers under the rails and the guys anchoring down the rails.
Agreed
Baš ste dragi što ste nam omogućili da vidimo i malo naučimo srdačan vam pozdrav mogao vam zdravlja i sreće od ozlejda

Interesting video.. I counted at least 12 people working on this and only ever three or four of them doing anything at any given moment. Is this a 'not my job' thing or are these guys so highly skilled that they can't possibly do more than one task in the whole operation? Where's the tea boy?
I was going to mention I have rarely seen so many gathered in one place to do nothing before in my life. I found it to be on par with Lord of the Rings during which nothing happened for an extended period then it ended.
Chilternflyer spoken like an office worker. That drives by a work crew has no idea how to do that job, what the machines do on the job or what the men do on the job but they will tell you they are doing it wrong or they are waisting time. Nope I am not a rail worker but I do underground utilities. Did it occur to you one guy might be an engineer that represent the equipment being used? Seems to my eye there one guy there that could be from the rail company could be calling in with information. There is also the minimum number needed on the job for safety. I have no idea what that number is. I will tell you they do look like people that understand the equipment and the job and most of the time these workers know how to work smarter not harder. Put a shovel in your hands and a shovel in my hand and have someone watch us dig. You will definitely look like your working real hard and you are and at the same time someone like me will look more like I am costing. Yet I will move more dirt all day long then you. I see these men lifting equipment that should take more then 2 men to lift. I dunno it sure seems like these men know what the heck they are doing and are laying the required number feet of rail per day. No business will pay extra bodies on a job. If there is the Forman will send someone on. Now you will say well not a union worker. That’s where your dead wrong. The union workers know exactly how many people needed to use the equipment and do the work. It will be the unions that will find ways to do more work in 8 hours. We do this all the time. She show union workers are better skilled then the average non union and we produce more work in 8 hours then most non union shops. This is new rail I would bet this is a lowest bid estimate. If it is there is not one extra man on the job. I will wager there is at least 1 inspector on this job probably 2.
David: It's interesting to see the other perspective on this.. You are correct I am an office worker. I work in I.T. Like the railways, everything has to be available 24/7 otherwise our business suffers. You are also right; I'd drive passed and not understand what's going on. We work in smaller teams but our project planning means that all members of the team are always actively engaged in something. If our I.T. director saw 8 members of a 12 man team standing still while 4 or them worked, she'd have the project manager and his boss in her office the next morning. They would both have a lot of explaining to do and would just be the start of it. We work on two different worlds I think!
@@Chilternflyer ,there might be times where all hands are required to fix problems. those rails are heavy and have a mind of their own. if the rails jump off the sleepers everyone might have to pick up heavy steel bars and forcibly trick the steel rail into thinking it should be sitting on the sleepers. i have seen better ways to lay the rails using wheeled excavators and less complicated little machines like seen here.
Those are some weird retaining walls. Is that fencing wrapped around walls that are not too stable?
LoveNotLabels I think you must mean the stone encased in wiremesh used extensively to brace the side of cuttings in the Borders Rail project
LNL They are called gabions, seem to be popping up all round the world lately. I'm not an engineer, I just heard it the other day.
A very interesting video. I've never seen what looks like stainless steel ties. I've seen them lay rails attached to concrete ties with all the accompanying machinery used for that type of rails. Are those stainless steel ties?
W Rusty Lane in eastern Tennessee (Witherington Place Railroad)
w. rusty lane, err, no. they look very shiny and i thought, for just a little while that they may have been steel. but no, they are freshly made concrete sleepers/ties that have been rained on. there is a point along them where there is a slight colour change. this is probably a different batch of sleepers with a different colour of aggregate in them.
@@vsvnrg3263 Okay thanks.
There are too many workers just wandering about without obvious purpose. Supervisors? Inspectors?
I agree with that, what the hell are they doing anyway?
Not nice to watch people destroying Mother Earth.
