Fixing a Really Bad Mud Spot on the Railroad Track

Video Description

Lot's of mud and some really bad cross ties. We gonna dig out the mud and replace the ties here on curve 37. You'll see the grapple truck pulling out bad ties and digging the mud out then watch me tamp this small section of track. This is the same mud spot that we showed you in the last Track Inspection video, link to watch that video: https://youtu.be/R0fWCPRbgko Made June 12, 2022 Disclaimer: I am an employee of Iron Synergy at Cumberland Mine.
