Great video bro that yellow large cab is interesting. Like the car as a line maintenance vehicle too. Gee what ever crossed the lines sure did some damage but that good crew soon sorted it out. All the best from a never ending summer in NZ, almost April and still getting up to 30c temps here

4:58 ? NONONONONONO - never turn "sleepers" UPSIDE DOWN. They will ROT very quickly "upside down" as there's no way for them to self-drain any water - such as rainfall - that gets on & into them. The way they originally were - at where the old plate fastenings & worn-out screw holes are, is the correct WAY-UP for the sleeper to be laid under the rails. At 4:53 ... THAT is the only way UP that these should be re-used. Why? Because all wooden sleepers MUST be laid onto the ground, with the tree's age rings - kept in the form of a RAINBOW (as seen from the ends of the sleepers) That way - any wetness that get's into the sleepers, will automatically drain towards the outside of the sleepers and KEEP the insides dry. Inverting any old sleeper, on the misunderstanding that "somehow" you now have a brilliant new drilling and holding surface for fasteners, is a BAD, bad idea, as now the sleeper's age rings will be seen as if CUPPED - thus keeping any wetness deep in the middle of the sleepers, where ROT will quickly destroy them. In an emergency - they can be inverted, JUST to get a work-train in there to re-sleeper the lot. Leaving them in there - that way is inviting a quick WET ROT disaster.. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adze Because you will "need" some of those adze tools, if you "must" re-use any old sleepers that appear to have been "drilled out" too much, such that the fastening plate position needs to be re-ADZE'd into the sleepers - so that the sleepers will "sit" further under the rail at one end, and not so much at the other, (putting half of the old holes UNDER the rails - whilst half of them will now be too far away from the rails to re-use).. NOW - all you do is drill NEW fastening holes, for both rails - without TURNING any sleeper upside down to get "good wood" to fix the rail fastenings into. These re-adzed sleepers with new fastening bedplate positions, will almost last as long as the original bedplate fastenings positions did PLUS, you then will NOT have to dig the old sleeper position fully out, just open one end about 3" and slide the sleeper that way, thereby getting half the screwholes UNDER the rail, with new wood ready to be drilled for the fastenings. A hell of a lot easier than pulling them all the way out - to turn them upside down - to ROT very quickly? Even easier than doing THAT, is the simple repositioning of the bedplate ON the sleepers themselves, by (again) adzing off the edge ridge on the sleepers, either side of the bedplates, and thus "just by sliding them sideways" without disturbing the sleeper at all, the bedplate fastening holes will "expose" good wood either side of worn-out screw holes, allowing you to re-drill the sleepers, by boring through the "shifted" bedplate into good wood between the originally drilled holes, with the other bedplate hole exposing good wood between a hole and the outside of the sleeper, again giving a 2nd good screw-down position. (no need to move the sleeper at all see)
