Horseshoe Curve Railroad Equipment....what is this stuff?

[CPWindsorsub]

It's MOW(maintanence of way)their used to repair/maintain tracks

[spdfrk01]

those are maintenance of way machines, but they are not ballast regulators or anything, it is a rail gang going backwards, hi rail, two rail anchor machines, two spikers, one pulling a parts cart, and a rail heater (not in video) gauger spiker, grove crane, cribber adzer, 2 speedswings, liquid plug injecter, and two spike pullers. hope this helps, i think the gang is either r-8 or r-10.

they're all things that fix the tracks

[leejones2232]

as the previous commenters stated, its mow equipment, they're probally moving to a diffrent job site

I've never seen MOW equipment up there before. I've seen a hi rail once though. I think it was picking up a dead animal when i was there because it stopped and two or three men got out for about 10 minutes.

[railfanmike]

first is a hi rail truck, second and third are ballast regulators
