My old man was a railroader for 35 years.  I have seen stull like that before... but what I have NOT seen before was the concrete ties.  That's new to me.

Not sure where the filmed activities are located but, I saw concrete ties being set 30 years ago in KS.  The track between Cassidy and El Dorado had thousands of them.  I was told back then that they were experimental.  Guess it worked out.   Smiley

Learning the majority of life's lessons the hard way.

I've seen them in the UK and in TX.  On my last train trip to San Antonio I was told that they were necessary for the conversion to high speed rail service.

However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.
