How long did u have to wait for it to come after the barriers had gone down

[villarule]

i'd be a little bit annoyed waiting at these lights, full minute and a half beofre it comes into view!

I haven`t seen the rail grinder go through Malton yet

It reshapes the railheads, because trains are constantly going over the tracks at high speed, they crush the rails over ime, this just gives them back there shape...

[justplainrichard]

sorry.. just noticed my previous comment...

Certainly havent seen the Loram Grinder before...Whereas back here in basingstoke we tend to get the Speno Rail Grinder...Which i'm told by the Harsco Crew's...Is full of Italians...And of course the Harsco units, Nice little things those...

Anyway, some fine videos you have here... rich

Rail Milling is a better method...no sparks, no chance of fire, no noise, higher metal removal

Nice vid. I remember when this thing woke me up once, even though the line is only just visible from my house at a distance, and the window was closed.
