Grinding re-profiles the shape of the rail for better wheel contact, removes defects such as plastic flow, shelling, spalling, pitting, and improves the longevity of the rail so it does not have to be replaced as often. Most production rail grinders have yearly contracts and stay on high density mainlines; RG15 is one of only a few that take side contracts due to their Mexican contract. It has been on the DMIR as well as several other US railroads.

WHY IS THERE A MEXICAN FLAG ON IT I CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY?!?!?!?!?!
-
lol yup
-
@ljones121 Yeah especially when you put so much time and effort into that paint job.... kinda sucks.
-
ah that makes sense, though has to suck ass though getting rocked and shit.

@ljones121 It has a Mexican flag on the side of it because it spends about half the year in Mexico grinding their rails. I believe it is the only one in the Loram fleet that does. I know this because my boyfriend is the superintendent on rg15. If a flag isn't on there, the locals in mexico throw rocks and other crap at the machine..... And sometimes they throw rocks anyway. Even with the Mex flag...
