Cool have fun out there jaw tooth Utah is nice lived out there for 5 years, can't wait for ya to film big boy :)

replacing rail, I saw spike pullers, spike drivers, loose spike picker uppers (big magnetic drum) , the one with the big white tanks was a rail heater, those tanks are propane, the box truck has a rail welding robot in it, the cranes had rail guide rollers. one with the crawler tracks had tanks for epoxy they fill in spike holes in the ties.

Now this makes better sense than my effort - thanks to focus frenzy! I didn't think of the rail heater (makes sense, though it could be confused, like I did, with a grinder; the epoxy one makes sense - I would imagine that they would use the epoxy made by Willamette Valley - their epoxy has to used up or it will go off, so they have two tanks of each of the two components and mix as required and inject straight in to the holes. It sure saves tie replacements.

I'm sorry but watching that parade of maintenance of way equipment was as exciting as watching paint dry sooner watch highballing freight yard work keep up the good videos

I love these MOW vehicles. They give a cartoony like feel to the railroad. This whole flotilla or parade of them is so epic and adorable at the same time!

All they need is the Disney Electrical Parade soundtrack. LOL!

All that horn honking in that parade made me think the equipment should have been decorated, have kids throwing candy to the audience, and the Miss Jawtooth Festival queen and her court doing the royal wave.

It's a rail relay and replacement gang. The crew removes old rail and installs new rails on the track. The large off-road crane you saw in the beginning picks up the old rail and tie plates and moves it off to the side. Another big crane identical to it places the new rail onto new tie plates. The machines pull the spikes, another machine carrying heater tanks heat the rail to its maximum heat resistance and it's installed. A van carrying welding equipment and a large welder fuses the end of the rails together.

The fact that one or more of the pieces of MOW equipment has a siren and a bullhorn on it is even more bizarre! 😂😂

Very cool! Just saw the rail grinder come thru Friday! Loved the siren!

No that is a track inspection truck

Yes! The other way! Good job! In reverse I noted a Progress Rail (contractor) logo on the back of the Chemetron (welding products) Box truck.What a show! CSX proving they can engineer stranger things than they inherited.

That first house has a great view... kick back with an iced tea and watch the trains go by. I'd retire well in that house.

Wow Jawtooth! I really love this! Nice catch! It definitely does look like a CSX parade. Some interesting equipment for maintaining the rails!!

I recognised some of these. They deal with track placement, track scanning (I saw what looked like a rail ultrasound machine), spike pullers and sleeper/tie levelling. Looks like they're preparing to fix a stretch of line, hopefully one of the abandoned/disused ones. Very exciting. :)

Steel gang, spikers, anchor boxer, rail heater, contractor flash butt welder, couple of hydraulic cranes, cribber/adzer, spike puller, anchor knocker, scrap crane

There needs to be train simulator mods for this

As always Brian -right person in the right place at the right time !!! What a parade dude -love the little drawbar trailers with tools and jackets on ! Some of them like their horn ! You promised a MOW video -as always you havent dissapointed! Some of the machines do look odd - but they've all got a job -gone have some of the back breakers -replaced with " a never complain" machine ! You are one busy man Brian ! Loving it !

Awesome powerful railroad machines? looked like support machines, Worked at Maintenance Manufacture for 30 years now. mk4's, 6700's, 3300, Magnum rail grinders, and stoneblowers. Will be losing my job due to re-organization. Good Luck South Carolina- you will need it!!!!

CSX knows how to put on a parade! Great catch

Awesome video, Ive always loved watching the maintenance of way equipment going behind my house. Im lucky enough to live next to the Canadian Pacific Mainline. Thats why l love this video. Ive actually seen equipment like this in behind my house, replacing ties and spikes, very cool to watch

Well that was incredibly weird!!! Great video-like Shriners on their way to a party somewhere.

Whoever labeled this parade picked the right word... That was interesting!!!! I should have counted them.. THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!

Wow JT. Another fine video!!! I saw everything in that parade except the float carrying the MOW queen, waving to the crowd, lol

Thank you very much for sharing my uncle was an engineer on the railroad been a long time since I've been around trains love to watch keep sharing :-)

Super to see Brian.just like a parade.thanks. Whe have here Switelsky Plasser en Treuer. because whe are using concrete layers for the rails,no wood.

Nice video Brian, I have no clue what I just saw, I felt like I was watching monsters inc of the railroads or something. I enjoid the parade. pass the hotdogs.

Wow...great catch...like watching the circus parade.

That was totally awesome. I never seen so many M of W altogether. Enjoyed that. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️😎

That guy up on the porch liked it too

They had the perfect place for a railfan

As CSX is pulling heavier consists, trackage is needing constant work. Trains twice as long with multiple DPU power running at higher speeds is all about profit.

All those vehicles to replace the rails. Wow. What an operation

Good stuff as always JT! Hope you and your family are well during this time!

Wow cool parade , (yawn) I couldn't stand the excitement of them going the other way . Cool video & very interesting equipment

I worked for Norfolk Southern MOW before and we had All the same equipment except orange lol God I miss that king of work

Thanks for the video. Have a great time out west chasing that GREAT Steam Locomotive.

Bonsoir Jaw la suite de la vidéo d'hier-soir pour les travaux de maintenance de CSX impressionnant convoi de véhicules de voiries grues camion machine a ballast etc... Le tout dans un grand concert de klaxon ouahouu !!! super Jaw à bientôt et bonnes ballades @ +

An even bigger machine convoy came through my town this week. Huge machines!

CSX recently performed maintenance on the tracks where I live and we had lots of those vehicles around. They did a great job repaving our crossing but not so much the crossings on the hwy.

Wow I've never seen any thingn like them, they almost looked like a child's toy, how cute! So fascenating, I saw where some one said what they are and what they do. Too cool!

I love that Neighborhood! Make.it a Bell only crossing!

Pretty darn cool video. That’s something not seen everyday. A lot of machines. I’ve been watching videos of Big Boy 4014. Ginormous is not the word to describe that locomotive!

That was entirely too cool! Those folks in the yellow house have a great ringside seat!

Superb video mate thanks for sharing !

I have said this before and I will say it again I LOVE your videos Jaw Tooth! I also love the little maintenance vehicle at 5:50

You weren’t kidding! That’s a whole parade of MOW

The Case loader tractor looked like he has rail guides on the bucket, but none on the rear. That is why he had to turn around and only go forward. The rear wheels are wide enough to stay on the rails.

Gotta love how there's just a regular backhoe loader in there, just with a precise driver

Wow, I could only identify a few of those, but since someone has already done that, won't repeat that here. But when they re-did the tracks at Winter Park they didn't have close to even half of what you caught in that MoW paraded. Cool catch. Good luck and have fun chasing that old steamer!

Great seeing all the equipment.

Great video. I liked your choice of locations for filming this.

This was cool i wish I lived there at those tracks keep it up

Only thing missing from the MofW Parade is the marching band!

Thanks for showing!

Hi! Great parade! Like # 635. Good luck!

Very nice footage 😊👍👌

I’ve never seen one of these parades before 😆 but great catch 👍

I noticed that white bobtail truck said Progress Rail. I worked there as a quality auditor and system analyst a few years ago.

Just think in the olden days before these railroad equipments were made, railroad men had work on the railroad the hard way, with their bare hands.

Very nice video documentation.

Awesome mow video!!!

Nice catch JT 👍👍👍😎😎😎

With a few of those horns all you missing is the clown music. Great video

Awesome parade!

Very unusual! Thanks!♥️

Haha. This is amazing!!👍

Great video Brian!!!

Great video and you are a cool guy☺

You put out great videos.

Damn! These guys are fast! No sononer hit the work spot then they are on their way back home to get a beer or 10.

Awesome! 😉👌

Awesome horns!

You always have good videos enjoy

Its like they headed out to work, then said never mind.

Jaw Tooth you caught so much MOW equipment in this video you should go around to their head office and apply for the position of official railfan liaison or whatever they call it! They'd probably call it something official! You would get training in railroad safety operations as a bonus! :D

Everybody loves a parade ! I like the old mechanical bell on the crossing. I also like that a lot of crossing systems in the US only have the bell clanging while the gates are in motion, and after the gates are down, the bell shuts up. In Canada, the bell has to keep droning on and on and on. It's always appreciated when there's a train broken down, or worse, if the crossing protection somehow malfunctions, keeping the crossing constantly activated. The e-bell can be a little less "piercing" than the mechanical snap of the clapper striking a real bell, but after two of them have been droning on for a few hours non-stop, it drives a person about batty. I've wanted to shimmy up the pole a stuff a towel in the speaker or wrap duct tape around it to muffle the sound down a bit. I'm close to a set of mainline tracks for 2 railroads, and they are a shared crossing, so if one activates, they both activate to prevent cars from lining up back far enough to be sitting on top of the other tracks, in case another train should come along. We have lots of brain-dead people up here (just like any other country), who figure that paying attention to their phone while they're stopped is more important than taking note of where their vehicle has come to rest.

This’s a most amazing parade'

I love a parade

May 6, 2019----Awesome man, awesome. Thanks for the video as I hope to use some of the equipment in a 1/35th scale zombie/apocalypse diorama. Will find more photos of the equipment and hopefully drawings of them. Want to get into 3D printing, using the Anycubic Photon resin printer which I'll be buying in the next few months along with trying to learn how to use CAD. At 66, it ain't easy for this old dog to learn new tricks.Retired now, but many years ago used to drive truck all over the U.S. Was going to take a break because I was tired, then saw a bunch of stuff like this equipment about half a mile away. It had been there awhile and many pieces were rusty. Took a bunch of photos even though never had an interest in trains other than looking at everyone's layouts. Have downloaded 400+ photos of abandoned locomotives, boxcars, train depots, etc. for future zombie/apocalypse dioramas. There is a 1/35th scale model kit of that front loader available. Be interesting to modify it for railroad use. There's a BIG rail yard in Sparks, Nevada and will see if I can shoot (photograph) any equipment that may be there now.

every piece of equipment looks different from the next!! come on boys....tighten it up!!

You could have used the theme from " Peabody's Improvable History " from " The Bullwinkle Show " as background music!

they knew you was there ,lol

let the parade roll sun.

wow.... great video :)
