See how to set a Hi Rail Truck on track. This is the first time
this brand new truck has ever been on the rails. We gonna load some
bridge approach timbers on the truck before we set it on track.
Bridge approach timbers are 10 feet in length. There are typically
4 to 5 of those long timbers just before and just after the bridge
before the regular ties are started. That longer length helps hold
track surface up to the bridge grade because as they are longer you
can tamp more ballast under the ends of the timbers.

Some folks spell them as hyrail in fact the rail gear inspection sticker on
this truck refers to it as a hyrail. The Code of Federal regulations

these trucks are required annually by a private inspector. In other
words a company such as Frontier or Hulcher is not allowed to
inspect their own trucks for the rail gear, but they are allowed to
perform a DOT state inspection for high way use as long as that
company has a state certified DOT inspector.
