I saw an NS train doing this back in the 90s. I like to watch M of W trains working as it gives you a perspective of how the railroad works. Looks like we're at South Lebanon Junction where the LB splits off. That line used to go to Sinks and on to Corbin, KY and was the first L&N line to have CTC installed.
@killallianceftw Yes, there;s no doubt that triple tone sounds more appealing, but why blow it countinuously, pissing off all the surrounding neighbourhood...
so after they dump this stuff how is it doing any good if its resting on top of where the weight is being placed or do they have something to place it where its needed
Seen THIS happen in MARION ILL it was WHEN UP was redoing RAILs in MARION ILL on MARION SUB & LOVED seeing it ! LOVED it a lot . Scanner man

What happened to old ballast? Do they got crashed as trains went by or are they scooped up after a few year and reused or sold after washing?

Lol I'd be pissed to have to wait at those gates for this train that goes creeping by at 1mph

@DVeck89 I knew he was creeping along. He was actively dumping ballast until he got to the crossing.

Great video! I've caught the train on film before, but never in action! And the caboose is just a bonus!

who controls the lever to release the ballast

It's controlled by GPS to get an even flow. You can see this when the first car shoot closes and continues where it left off by the second car.

that was aweome! I wonder how they do that? I caught a NS herzog train doing this too. nice video!
HamiltonOhrailz 3 years ago
They do that with radio controlled cars.
They were walking along on the other side of the train.
The ABCD on the sides of cars denotes the door to open.
The car number is keyed into the radio and each car has its own frequency.
The operator can unload each door inside the rail, outside the rail or both by choosing appropriately on the radio unit.
If you think this is something, you should see the GPS rock train.
