Don't know much about this impressive machine, except that it cleans the ballast on the track. I'll have another video of it in action up soon. Taped at Peck Park in Galesburg, IL on August 11th, 2009.
I work for cp in british columbia and I know that this machine is called a super gopher. it cuts all the ballast under the track and we work behind it and put new ballast in the track. that guy makes $29 an hr in canada.
