April 29, 2007: Track work is done for the day and the ballast regulator and spike driller(?) are heading up to the Elk Plant to store the equipment until tomorrow.
first piece is a former conrail tamper, second is a ballast regulator, those two pieces are part of whats called a surfacing gang. The whole gang consists of a Surfacing Gang Foreman, 2 machine operators, and they are assisted by a pilot, to get them railroad, and to inform them of approaching trains.
