  • He operates a remote control switch to guide the machine over the centre line, marked out in advance of the rail drop.More often he sits on front of the machine and can stop it should the sleepers get stuck. HTH

  • awesome alaistar!! would love to video this myself!

  • No public transport to this area, but you could catch it once it reaches Caldercruix.

  • @ahomick pressed steel they are lighter than concrete sleepers so easier to lay and maintain

  • I think the bloke in front of the machine is scratching his arse.

  • What?! What kind of ties are those and which railroad is laying them?
