so it's basically the same idea as drilling a tunnel, one machine can do everything to the point where on the front there's nothing and out of the back comes out an already built and ready to use rail
One type of track maintenance machine that was not mentioned in the video would Rail-Head Grinders. These are common to railways of the US and Canada, but can also be found in the UK, Australia and India. Most commonly they are manufactured and operated by Loram Maintenance of Way Inc. of Medina, Minnesota USA.
@@neurofiedyamato8763 rail heads wear down over time, usually in uneven patterns which can cause poor ride quality, when this happens there’s usually 2 options, replace the entire rail, or grind down the rail head so it’s uniform again
As a child I did love that machine so much, it looked so spooky as it did come in the night flames spewing from its sides. I called it "The dragon" wander why. Any way it seems to have been taken out of service in and around Norway's capital, haven't seen it for years. even if I do live very close to pretty much every rail that travels north from the central station. I do live where the lines do diverts into the three mainlines for northbound trains, so I should have seen it if it was in use anymore in the central parts for the system.
incredible efficiency, there was never a road built that could ever match the cost effectiveness of a train that can service its own track, just amazing.
Straddle carrier and full span girder launching machine is also used mainly if not exclusively in Railways construction. Viaduct is assential part of HSR, it is highly used by China and now in India.
@@min-hokim1614 I use headphones and seriosuly, I can have it set where its consistently normal and audible for most things. but when ad's or some intros come on, they are not normilized to the audio level and it really hurts my ears, whats worse, is that they can play before you can get to the audio controls. then once you fix the audio for the stupidly loud part, it gets quite and you have to turn the volume back up for the main video. there is zero excuse for not normalizing your audio on a edited video . its just unprofessional. the rest of the video is fine but seriously.
I work for 7 years now (and not for long anymore) for one of the most important compagny of this business of building that type of train and I learned more on the way that a tamping machine is working with your video than in my company on 7 years, even if I worked only on that type of contruction/renovation trains. My chef team asked few times for a budget to go on a trip on restoration work site to see our work doing is job, be able to understand why some things have to be done in a specific way, etc. Always denide... "we can see it working next to the halls" but only tamping so I still don't know all other fonctions are working. Good products, compact compare to some seen on your video, clearly one of the leader of this market but I let you imagine the inside with the previous paragraph and the fact I'm not going to exceed 7 years here. At least, it has not a direct impact on the good functioning of the products.
While I understand where you are coming from, I would like to point out that knowing how a product is used once delivered to the customer, does not allow you to do your job in a better capacity. You are working from plans created by engineers, those engineers need to know how a product is used and why the customer asked for some custom work, but the crew that constructs the product only need the ability to read the plans/schematics to build what was designed. That said, some information videos for employees that are interested in how the end product is used would be nice to have, but not everybody that for a company that build machines for track maintenance is a rail enthusiast, for those the job is just an end to the means to pay the bills. While it would be very costly for the company to send the construction crew on a field trip during work hours, they could organize something outside workhours for those that are interested. If they send your crew on a fieldtrip, the company still has to pay the crew for that day, while it generated a 0% return on the investment. For instance, if you are a welder, knowing for the machine is used in the field, does not make you a better welder. However, I can't imagine that the sales/public relations department does not have a ton of videos of the machines that they are able to build in order to send in a pitch for a railroad construction company that is looking for a particular machine. Giving employees access to those video's does not cost the company anything extra while those interested can learn a bit more how the machines are used and for what purpose...
in case of welded rails, like depicted at 4:53 - how does these type of rails handle shrinking and expansion of metal due to temperature changes? i thought the gaps were supposed to provide that slight change in length
In my country we use both welded and joints. I believe they use the joint type every several hundred meters with some gap in them, and the rest are the welded type
They don't change in length (only a fairly short length at either end of the welded rail section moves) but temperature changes build up internal stresses within the rails. The ballast bed and concrete sleepers prevent these stresses moving the rails horizontally and vertically.
In CWR (continuous Welded Rail) technology, the rails are welded at a specific temperature (around 25°C) and prestressed when welded. Due to this conditions, the rails will absorb the difference of temperatures all along the year without moving, of course if it stayed between the mechanical limits specified to the welding conditions.
Does the ballast machine also tamp, or does it always need a tamping machine to go through after it? How often does a track need the ballast to be tamped or cleaned?
@@RailwaysExplained It takes a very high discipline to operate.It's weight and length makes it very difficult to look and notice all around it. High pressure upto 150 bar is operated in these hydraulic hoses in very cramped spaces,which is a very serious headache in its own way when any leakage is noticed and hoses needed to be changed. During operating in limited block time, if the machine is in ok condition and maintained fit,it is good to operate , though you still need to look out for any instances of failures. Because due to limited time,you have to clear out the section because if you dont then there will be cascaded delaying of the trains that would be running on the track and upper administration officers wont care about your explanations anymore and as an incharge , you will be penalised accordingly with disciplinary actions.
This may well be an advertisement for Plasser & Theurer ;-) But of course there are other manufacturers of railway machinery besides them. They are the market leader, though.
@@parsahasselhoff7986 I'm not against the project as a whole, the problem is the execution is terrible. Their planned phasing is bad because it connects two places that are effectively in the middle of nowhere to each other instead of connecting at least some of their major cities first. Their The huge litany of laws that the state has put in place over the decades make it damn near impossible to do anything at all in that state. Then to make matters worse, the construction techniques they've employed to date are inefficient and therefore more expensive than other alternatives that they could easily have went with. Frankly the state has no business even considering the project when they can't even build housing without it taking a decade and costing 3-5 times the estimated cost.
why u cant even mention the manufacturer or its origin? and btw, there is also a "train", that moves continually, that replaces the rails, the slippers, removes the bed, whash it(and adding some new) and then laying all these things back in place
I really want to like this channel, but besides the jarring English, there are just way too many errors in this video. The whole video feels like a mashed up reading of machinery brochures without any comprehension of the actual work. Also, a lot of North American and European machines and techniques are shown as if they work together, while they are in reality working vastly differently. I know that this knowledge is hard to come by from the internet, but this video doesn’t do it any justice.
This is a Better video , Compared to the Drastic Music only video ! That a Government might show in its Realection ! Properganda ! Achievements ! That said , Like the Railways in General , New videos can be made to the Absolute beginings of a Railway Construction , ie Excavation of rali land in first video , then Either old wooden sleepers being pulled up ! ( Next video New slepers being laid( next video) old Rail track being pulled next video new Railt rack being laid ( next video ) Welding of rail next video old Ballast being pulled uo ( next video ) new ballast Being wahed and relaid mnext video ) etc etc etc Next Videos ) So if a you tube person is wanting to see something Specific and in more Detail then hopefully thst is Given to them , also the people that laid the Original Track woukd have Certainly Dreampt !

Have seen these machines at work in India. Infact there was actually a sizeable crowd the first time people saw them working. Everyone was awestruck.
Hahaha 😅
so it's basically the same idea as drilling a tunnel, one machine can do everything to the point where on the front there's nothing and out of the back comes out an already built and ready to use rail
Just something about watching the track layers that is so satisfying.
You've got to admire the work done in designing, developing and operationalizing such machines. Great work and great video
