I remember long ago when I was in 2nd grade. I saw one of these rail grinders while on my way home from school. it was when the Southern Pacific Railroad was still in existence.
A Kodak CX-7330 digital camera? A simple 3mp camera. If you listen to some of my other posts, you will hear me apologize for the camera. It was free and I can't afford a better one. So to me, capturing the subject is more important then the quality of the video.
I wonder what drive system is running the traction motors on this bad boy. Tech Power Controls ISO Drive is my guess. That is a harsh environment for drive electronics. Lots of sealant and forced air cooling.
Thats what I was Looking for I use to work for Loram Maintance of way and I loved it but I never took any videos so now I can show people what I use to do instead of showing pictures.
I ran rg 309..and it broke me after two months!

I love it. Your narration reminds me of Doc Brown's introduction to the time machine on video in Back to The Future. :)

LOL I saw this train go by. I was near the St. Joseph Hospital. We thought the train was derailing.
