Get to see an old 925 Tie Inserter Remover work as we are pulling out
old ties and inserting new ties.
We have a contractor in today to give us some help and that 925 is
their machine they brought with them. They were here for 3 days.
Two of those days we had dead track, the third day we had to work
around a train running. In those 3 days we got 160 ties changed.
The old ties were not very good and were all loaded into dumpsters
to be taken to a landfill.
Made December 08 and 10, 2022

Boy oh boy Dave this sure brings back memories for me. I worked with these 925 tie inserters plenty in my railroad career especially when our section crews would put ties in with the small utility crew. We had ties that were some bad that they would totally disintegrate as they would pull them out then we would have to turn the machine and try from the other side. I could go on and on with stories in this comment and write a novel LOL. The Kitty and I enjoyed watching the video. Have a nice upcoming Friday>(Steve)

I worked on a railroad in NY state for 10 years and loved it. I was a volunteer on a tourist RR but it was an FRA regulated line because it was connected to the CSX in Utica NY. It was part of the old NYC Adirondack Division that went up through Malone NY and into Montreal Quebec. The par we worked on came up from Utica NY and up to Lake Clear Junction and off to Saranac Lake and Lake Placid. I know very well what goes into much of what you present here but I loved doing it. I did it all, from selling ticket up to licensed locomotive engineer. Track work too, but we did that by hand much of the time due to lack of equipment. Ilove your videos. They show the day to day operations and the problems that railroads always seem to have. It's hard work, cold, wet, unforgiving too. We didn't get paid either because we were all volunteers on the line, but we still had to do the work. I soooo appreciate what you post. It's real, and genuine and it shows the true life of a railroader. It takes dedication to do it. Thanks for sharing this hard but gallant choice of work. I was proud to be a part of it for 10 years.

Changing ties..... Once per year, before the traffic, the veteran railroad has a "track week", changing ties. During the most intensive years we changed some 800 ties that week. "We" have one Inserter Remover but borrowing another one from a near railroad we can use 2 machines. The first one pulls out the the old ties and the second inserts new ties that have been brought out to the line ahead of the work. Being some 10 or more people the track is nailed after that week. The hydraulic hammer sitting on wheels is pulled by pulled by hand. I'm surprised that a commercial railroad can afford a line to be down that long time. Anyway, an entertaining video even if You didn't show the nailing and how You maintain the cot'rrect track width.

Best tie inserters out there. We've had ours since 1994. They are fast, I checked with our other inserter operator to see what's the best we've done with one. In one 8 hour day we changed 285 ties with one 925 and one scarifier. We go through and pull all the plates before the ties come out also.

I use one of these everyday at our refinery. Nice equipment. We pull our plates first before removing and installing ties. We keep the tie like 2 inches below the rail inserting the ties. Plates just slide right in. Takes a little finesse but there is a rhythm to it and works really good. Nice videos and very informative keep them coming! 👍

At the mill I use to work at, a speed swing would grab a new tie, and use that to shove the old tie out. The ties would only be changed after they had been turned upside down and respiked. Later, when when they didn’t even want to get new ties, and you could pull the spike out by hand, they would put in a wooden plug, the pound the spike back in! On day I was magnet sweeping with a locomotive crane, I sucked the rail to the magnet! I had sucked the spikes out of the ties.

More than 20 years ago and before cell phones we lived in Framingham Mass next to a railroad that went north up to Lowell Mass. One day I watched a crew with very modern equipment replacing ties. One machine with a saw would cut a tie in half and push both pieced out the side. Then another machine would pick up a fresh tie, and swing it up in a big arc before jamming it under the rails, aligning them, pulling the tie up tight and inserting the spikes. Wish that I had the ability to film it.

Dave, I enjoy watching and trying to grasp the whole operation. I never worked around anything dealing with the railroad. I did however work around and with electronic communications and gunfire turrets electronically. That got a ship Captains goat when I came walking through the Bridge and h told me he'd have an operator to me in 10 minutes, and I responded I didn't need him. He asked how I'd done the job and when I said electronically he about came unglued. I looked at him and said if I have a need to know I'll know it. Excuse me while I go down to CIC, whereupon I turned on certain pieces of equipment for our testing at the dockside. That captain followed every step I took until he got to my boss who outranked him. My boss had 3 stars on his shoulders (a Vice Admiral FYI), and I reported what I'd done and then what the Captain had done, protesting everything I was doing. It didn't take long before the Captain was put in his place on the pecking order. He was informed I out-ranked him as well as being paid what a Rear Admiral gets a month. [He didn't have to know what I was being paid but the Admiral wanted him to give me respect for my abilities to operate in a professional manner aboard his ship. We got along quite well after that encounter. I'm going to let you know that was aboard the USNS Guantanamo Bay Cuba way back in the late '60s. That ship was being sent to Viet Nam to help with the war effort there. At that time I was a CWO3, and yes, my pay rate was higher than a Rear Admiral. But that was a long time ago, for a time when I had fond memories of things that had happened. Like when the aircraft carrier JFK was in the harbor in December of '68 and Jeannie Dixon said the ship would be blown up in the middle of Guantanamo Harbor. I was on the ship doing testing and it was getting ready to go to NAM, I'm here the ship didn't get blown up. If I haven't said it before Merry Christmas to you and yours this holiday season.

Hi Dave, it's almost as if you heard me and my buddy talking about just this very job while walking the NCR rail trail this week. What timing!! Btw, I think we came across some rail rolled in 1877 about a mile north of Hanover Junction. I found some 1916 and 1914 rail around the junction. I've been keeping an eye out for the date marks. Quite fascinating thinking about the history that rolled along this line in its heyday. Hope you and your bride have a wonderful Christmas and Happy and Healthy New Year.

Thank you Anthony, very glad you enjoyed. Wood ties are spaced on 19 inch centers ideally. Concrete ties have a wider spacing. All RR's use some form of tie exchanger machine, there are several different models of tie exchangers out there. A few RR like scenic ones still change ties by hand with tie tongs.

A tedious job made better by the 925. I get interested in the engineering that went into the 925 - that's a very functional piece of equipment. Those ties that are being replaced - any idea how old they are? I don't know the life expectancy of a tie nor do I know if the coal debris has any effect :) I am sure you will get an opportunity to tamp (and maybe crib) when time allows - let's hope it isn't in this cold, nasty weather!

Glad you enjoyed Brian. We don't use date nails, so have no idea how old some of these ties are. But they've paid for themselves. Coal dust that gets down in the ballast plugs the ballast up and eventually it will not allow the water to drain away, which then significantly shortens the life of a tie. Thanks for watching and may you have a most blessed holiday season my friend.
