Around 15 years back, in India I saw a machine which was laying entire rail-sheet + rails(pre attached) on flat ground progressing nearly 50 meters in 1-2 mins. It had some extra features than the machine in first part of this video. But, I never saw any machine like that again. I wonder whether that machine was not good enough.
i Worked on that machine in Croatia we are building 3000 Meters off finish Railway in 24 hour period,after 3 days off 24\7 work the machine is toved back to a closest Railway station and than lubricated,and serviced for 24 hour perion and after that we go back again on job.This machine is doing everrything,it scraps a old Gravel and stones and refurbished it and reusing as a new,it desmantals old stell track and wooden or concrete blocks and lay a new one,it lays a new Biger stell traclines,it automaticly alines a heading off a railroad track,it welds and at the end spits out a completly NEW RAILWAY This is a 1 off only 2 that machines on entire world,they also have a AHM machine.....While we are working we witnes to 4 car accidents becose drivers are loking on this amazing machine and they are not paying attetin on trafic,becose this is a real reare machine that you can se maybe once in your liftime....
@@jimmartin181 the small sweep is to prevent stones from being placed at the rail location on the concrete sleepers and hinders the installation of the nuts and bolts!!!!
@@yvesgauthier1567 Yes Yves...I am aware of the duty. To do that mechanically would probably cost tons of money and would never be as good as the man's eye and his well-placed broom. I was just making light of the juxtaposition of the old and the new....like putting a broom on the space shuttle.
@@jimmartin181 Well yes, putting a tube to blow at this place to move large annoying stones, would not be guaranteed total success, nothing beats the human eye and good old-fashioned methods! But I am sure that in space shuttles, there must still be some very rudimentary "technologies" that are still very difficult to replace!!!!
I’m beginning to wonder if this frk’n cámara person was going to film were the real action is: ah finally; I thought you just like to see that thing going back & forward the upper track.
Ingenious. Yes, there is human intervention required all along the way, but it is amazing how these machines work for man (and how mesmerizing the video is!)
amigos que hermoso trabajo hustedes son mas que buenos trabajadores para mi son unicos, alemania siempre usa la tecnojia ,muy desarroyada y son muy hordenados ,y serios en su trabajo ,,,saludodos a toda alemania,,,
No safety helmets, no safety glasses, most no hearing protection, men working under and amongst moving machinery, no one acting as safety lookout for the men working underneath...a Safety Inspector nightmare!!
I was about to post the same thing. I find it incredulous that in today's world, workmen are still put into very dangerous position unnecessarily. It's the 21st century people, there's no excuse for this anymore!
@@lordred7462 if the contractor will do what you said the contractorc will earned as the laborer ,learned to study the place, the situation and that is, you are well concerned about the workers by talking ,concern w/o doing is just a show of a "man" , and so what iif its in Croatia
Most countries don't care about safety. Worker's are grateful for a job. Most don't get any training,they learn as they work. If they die, they are replaced in under an hour.
I like this video. The way it is filmed shows alot of details. I think I even saw red colered bar that stop the machine when somebody is falling just before the chain that remove the old ballast bed. Thanks very much for uploading..
it depends on the desingned speed. if you dont want to be faster than 80 km/h, then you should do just some maintance. (average concrete sleepers are in hungary 40-60 years old.) if you want to buld a faster railway line (with designed speed= 160 km/h) then you have to change the concrete sleepers. (just like here in the video...) and if you want to highspeed railwayline, (designed speed =300km/h), then you have to forgot the old railway track, and you have to set a new track.
Amazing machinery !!! I would expect that fastening the rail bolts would be automated too. But probably there is some human judgement required for the sequence of fastening them?
Actually there are machines (from the same manufacturer) that can build the entire track they run on, almost entirely automatically. The only human intervention that seems to be required is tying the new rails to a cable that pulls them into position (the same thing the backhoe does in this video near the end).
What a waste time: For almost ten minutes (TEN MINUTES!!!) the only thing that moves is the tender . . . back and forth . . . back and forth . . . back an
I can't help but want to see it go farther - like have a rail-drawn concrete mixer and presser for the sleepers - assembly to add on the additional bits - and like at the front of the pseudotrain there's a crazy earth devourer-er that rips through rocks and land and sends back the raw material to the mixer on a third level of the train - and there's like a whole manufactorium on the back, to ludicrous and silly levels... like an entire moving city for all the workers, a garage, heliport, maybe ultralight take-off strip or something.... would be so f'n cool lol
Normally, 1540 sleeper per km of tracks are laid ...so, 1,540,000 sleepers for each 100 km ...a RCC Sleeper can weigh from 75 kg to 150 kg ... so, there is a load of weight to make, carry and install for a Railway Track from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok, a distance of 9,500 km = 14,630,000 x 105 kg = 1,536,150,000 kg or 1,536,150 tonnes of load ...

Why is it the side of the rail beds are so clean and neat compared to in US? Our guys just leave all the old stuff there, dont clean up after themselves. Big difference!
Ну и рукожопы, шпалу сломали, насыпь рельсами всю рассыпали, и это я просто помотал чучуть. А о отсутсвии какой то техники безопастности я уже молчу, смотрю и офигеваю как этот экскаватор с рельсами в ковше летает мимо людей.
4:56 is hilarious! Am I the only person who seriously wants someone to make a huge TV program on this. I would love to take a tour of one of these things while they are working. .
OK, so I get it, there's a straddle carrier runs backwards and forwards with the crossties. Lots and lots of backwards and forwards. It took a long while to get to the actual track laying ...
I worry about seeing humans so carefree and so close to so many very powerful machines that they lift the tracks as if they were sticks. At any time someone could get very hurt.
People all working so closely to the machinery that has such deadly potentials. Lacking some basic safety gears for various easily identified hazards. Impressive machinery by far. Lacking safety standards from what is shown here.
Один с сошкой и семеро с ложкой. Одни реально чёт делают, вьёбывают, вроде этого закрутчика гаек, а десять вдоль дороги стоят, да ещё сверху смотрящие в наушничках. Окуенно. Вы бы хоть местами менялись, милые вы наши.
$200,000,000 for the machinery $12.75 for the broom @17:17 which the machine can not work without. Same as every site in the world the university educated engineers who have come to tell you you are doing it wrong are almost killed by the rail lift driver @20:20. the rail lift driver enjoyed it so much he has a 2nd crack at them
This is a national railroad, well-funded, with all the needed equipment. Given this chance, our American workers would be just as productive, if not more.
America has two national rail roads "Amtrak" and "Conrail" and they never made a profit and are wastefully subsidized with countless Trillions of US Tax Payer Dollars. The key word about Sweden is "Well-Funded". Whose pockets did that money come from in Socialist Sweden? @@@tomegg
@@tomegg Not really. They use this kind or similar machines usually from the maufacturers "Plasser & Theurer" or "Matisa" and others all over Europe. On national AND private railway lines. The key word is productivity. If closing the track down for any longer the loss will cost more money than what you can save with the usual low-tech methods you can see in all the tie-changing videos from the US with dozens of little vehicles and rails still being nailed on the sleepers like back in the civil war times, you're better off choosing the fast way. The track in the video is in Croatia (the construction company and the equipment is from Austria). And Croatia is not really more well-funded than Amtrak is. This here is not an expensive high-speed rail line. Not even close. There's not really a good reason for the US not to catch up. Money is not the problem.
tahun 1500 membangun rel kereta api sejauh 1000kilometer, membutuhkan waktu 100 tahun lebih, sekarang cuma butuh waktu cuma 1 tahun, benar benar gila technology modern😢
I have watched this video though in the beginning I had difficulties understanding what is this all about. Here in Pakistan we are wasting time and money why are making excuses not to hold free and fair election so that poor people of Pakistan don't have to lay down their lives for just a bag of wheat flour. No doubt hard working people of developed countries have ideas to cut the time spent in traveling. Now a days in Pakistan Railway lines , damaged by the recent floods are being repaired to allow the trains restore the normal speed of 100 to 110 kmph.
Thats a cool machine! That's really amazing how it removes the old and replaces immediately with new. Can youimagine how many man hours it would take in the 1900's?!?! All the tech and efficiency - and still - at 25:00 you see the 2 lads on the back having a smoke!!!
If it was 1900s without protection for workers and cheap labor without labor revolt because of no breaks? Probably one day for one whole line. America changed it’s gauge to standard for the whole continental railroad in less than a day and a half.
Ultimately we will abandon fossil fuels in favor of solar and wind. Soon, huge lithium batteries will be on board for night travel and the solar cells will exceed 50% efficiency during daylight hours. As a bonus, there will be a 70-80% reduction in noise without those huge diesels. Hopefully more people will choose train travel and once they try it, they are gonna be hooked on this smooth qnd quiet ride. That's my hope anyway.
So it digs up the old sleepers, removes old rail, smooths ballast, lays new sleepers and then lays new track. All at a reasonable pace with very little manual work required by humans. 👍
Le pauvre gars avec son balai de paille. Pendant que les autres ont le droit de s'amuser avec ces énormes jouets mécanisés, lui doit se contenter d'un outil extrêmement simple :)
Croatia. with the working machines from german speaking land Germany/Austria/Swiss. And who pays? I think china, because of the new silk road. But what do i know for real? Nothing :-)
