new rail |
| Description: |
This crane is running hy-rail and on the end of the boom, there is a rail grapple, but it has rollers on it. This allows the crane to lift, move or move over the rail and place it along the crossties. Crews behind it were placing plates, snother crew bhind them was spiking it down. No real big rail replacement equipment on site, all small stuff. This was the biggest piece out there. |

Seen here is the switch that will eventually enter the Clean Burn facility. Not sure how this will be laid out as this switch is beyond the plant. Meaning there will have to e pretty tight curve to reach the plant from where this switch is located...almost behind this switch. |
