The Jitterbug is a mean machine, and its doing its job, beyond expectations

It is doing well.
That Mahindra + the Tamper make a huge difference. Even if everything can be done with shovel & wheel barrow, when bigger than a loop around the house, if you want to enjoy it in your lifetime...

Well, this is the Stoddard Hill Farm Railway. We still lack the convenience of a tractor on the MLBK. Not that I'm not looking for one, but I do have some financial matters to tend to first. Retiring the debt brought on by the Ossipee Central acquisition and the purchase of new rail being at the top of that list.

The Jitterbug really shines on rock ballast. I bet it really speeds up roadbed work quite a bit.

Thanks for watching! You probably don't miss the cold.
Orange and black, Milwaukee Road freight colors. Years ago along the U.P. main in Nebraska they put down geocarpet, a thick coating of black top, ballast and finally concrete ties. I get used papermachine felts from the mill where I work and use them as geocarpet under my driveway after first using a walk behind compactor like the one you're using. Great roadbed tute, liked it much!

Hey Aaron, you mentioned that the Geotex fabric was not made to prevent plant growth. So would a layer of black plastic make a difference??
@MillBrookRailroad
8 ай бұрын
The job of the geotextile is not merely to spread out the weight of the ballast and track, but to provide drainage while it's doing it. Plastic sheet doesn't allow for drainage. The three most important things in railway track construction are drainage, drainage, and drainage.

Sorry to bother you but do you know what the cars for carrying ballast are called? I want to get into trains and I saw your video about building and laying tracks but I can’t seem to find them. They look cool and I kinda want to give them a try, in the future.
