worked at ConRail in NJ summer 76. It was awesome. Replaced those ties manually with crow bars, hammers, sweat, blood and me crying on the side. I liked the spike hammer, fun slamming tall spikes and walking the rails. Got to ride the train for free and meet young females coming down to the jersey shore to party. Was a great summer. wish I stayed with ConRail. Great to see all these machines to the hard work precision. You can see why they call it "ribbon rail" as it jiggles like a worm!!!

At 7:20 you have a little rail riding excavator with a magnetized head picking up the steel tie plates, fumbling with them and setting them back down. I guess in a more convenient spot. Really..... A person walking along could have done it faster and better. I think sometimes we take mechanization a little to far.

In the last days of the Rock Island RR, I worked on tie gang #3. We went to Warren, Arkansas and waited for our equipment to show up. Rock Island put us to work with the section gang. One old white man was the boss and the crew was black. On rainy days the men drank beer and whiskey and played poker. The black guys let the old white man win a few bucks and they made a full days pay,"good pay". We went out in a large van and we all sat in the back, pulling a trailer with cross ties and short pieces of rail. when we did find a broken rail or tie that needed replacing, it was a wonderful thing to see. This was not "ribbon rail"but short rails with angle plates to hold them together. To cut the rail the men would mark the rail on both sides with a cold chisel on a long handle, pull all the rail spikes from the part to be cut, put a jack under the part to be removed, then hit with a sledgehammer. The rail broke straighter than you would think. To drill the holes for the angle plate, they used a hand driven drill the hooked over the rail. Two handled, it drilled right through. When the crew put spikes in the ties, two men set the spikes and the men with spike mauls drove them down with two blows. They rolled the large hammers off their shoulders and never missed. We had spike drivers on the tie gang but watching how it was done in days gone past was a wonderful thing to see.

CSX... gotta love the faded colors on the tie gang machines... along with the fact that every other tie is being replaced... I guess from not being serviced at all for the past 50 years. At least NS can afford to repaint their track machines so they are mostly brand new and don't break down every five minutes. There is a NS video on YT that shows and explains every piece of machinery and its function in detail.
