Automated Railroad Spike Removal -----

[notfarfromhome]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT! We have to use claw bars for spikes and half-washers for pins. Living the life pal!

Is it automated?

@chechnya - not really, but it beats using a hand-held crowbar!

Amazing machinery. Seems like it would be easy to add a magnetic pickup to retrieve the spikes (though maybe they use the same spikes to replace the tie)

Why is this machine removing these spikes? This line will gonna be removed or what?

[BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

@mihaitudosa -they are replacing the bad ties. more videos to follow, to show....
