See how it's done up close in this video that compresses about 1 hour of time to show how an Amtrak work crew uses the P-811 Track Laying System to lift the new track, push the aggregate aside, pull the old wooden ties and place new concrete ties and clip the rail in place all at once with this amazing machinery.

From Amtrak regarding service on this section of track: "Train service operates normally before 8 a.m. and after 4 p.m., but between those times no Keystone trains are operating on this stretch. Service runs at normal times all day Friday through Sunday. During lunchtime Monday through Thursday, the Pennsylvanian, which operates between Pittsburgh and New York City, goes through - one train in each direction.
While the work is being done, there’s one track out of service but the other track is being used to move the people doing the work. That track is cleared so the Pennsylvanian can run through during the lunch hour and the Keystone can resume normal service after 4 p.m. until the end of the day Monday through Thursday."

The concrete ties are about 1,000 pounds each compared to about 200 for wood ties. Amtrak says the concrete ties in this region are expected to last 60 years compared to 25 years for wood ties. This $122 million project is installing 113,000 concrete ties and cleaning/renewing 226,500 feet of gravel ballast on 43 miles of track between Lancaster and Harrisburg, Pa.

What are long square metal looking boxes used for at the start of the video?

Those contain the ties - the old wooden ties (about 22) that are removed from the railbed and the new concrete ties to be installed by the TLM. The old wooden ties are grabbed by the gantry and transported to the back of the train to be taken away at the end of the work day. Meanwhile the new concrete ties are continually replenished by the gantry and brought to the conveyer to be installed on the TLM.
