Amtrak MOW Work Crew Checking Clips on Concrete Ties Using Tie Crane and Tie Remover/Inserter

An Amtrak work crew uses a Progress Rail 12-12 Tie Crane and a Nordco Tie Remover/Inserter (TRIPP) and sledge hammers and crowbars to fix the alignment of Pandrol clip fasteners on a new section of concrete ties and rail recently installed, replacing wooden ties, on the line between Lancaster and Harrisburg, Pa.

From Amtrak regarding service on this section of track: "Train service operates normally before 8 a.m. and after 4 p.m., but between those times no Keystone trains are operating on this stretch. Service runs at normal times all day Friday through Sunday. During lunchtime Monday through Thursday, the Pennsylvanian, which operates between Pittsburgh and New York City, goes through - one train in each direction.
While the work is being done, there’s one track out of service but the other track is being used to move the people doing the work. That track is cleared so the Pennsylvanian can run through during the lunch hour and the Keystone can resume normal service after 4 p.m. until the end of the day Monday through Thursday."
