Great video. I'm 67, and a life-long railroad buff. And this is the first time seeing this operation take place. Proves...you never stop LEARNING, when you think you've seen it all. Thanks very much.

Another great video! Thank you for the effort you put forth and sharing. Years ago, I watched a maintenance team replace rails on a section of local track. They gave me a couple of small pieces of rail that I still use today in my shop as anvils.

That is really great. I see rail cars go by our place all the time in New Mexico, but never seen them unload. What an operation.

Your video once again leaves me amazed at the quality as well as content. At times I feel as though I could just reach out and give em a little shove. Great work!

Amazing, didnt know the rails were so long & carried that way.

Loved this video! Great seeing how they unload the rail cars!

Definitely one of the coolest railfan videos I’ve seen on KZread!

Excellent video!

This is THE reference video of how it's done, a must for all railfans!

Awesome video!

Nice catch mate!, makes the way we do it down here look prehistoric!! Thanks for sharing, cheers Gregg

Great video! Thank you! ( I still can't see how these cars go round bends when joined up by STRAIGHT rails - loads of ! Some forces needed to bend it!)

The rail is secured in the middle. It can expand and contract on both ends

Rail Unloader Machine (RUM). The highway wheels permit the machine to be driven to a grade crossing to be connected to the rail train.

how long was the rails they unloaded?

I think each rail section is 1/4 mile long--worked a summer job which welded these rails together in a separate location..Rolled out on the flat roller cars for delivery. I never saw them installed--thx for video

Looks more like a 3rd or half mile...

Sounded more like a K3LA.

Damm I fell asleep and woke up and the same train was still going oh wait that's another train my bad 🤔😩🤣

Remember when the rails were coupled every 20 feet. Click click. Ckick click. Click click

Norfolk Southern don't even have the big bad wolf ac6000's like Csx do. I don't like the ones UP have though.

Show......

Not a job I would want. Laying rail on the outskirts of hell.

They usually only replace ties and rail in the summer time. At least they did where I live. And yes it got HOT and lots of rattle snakes to contend with.@@joehnunya
