Remarks & Notes

This beast of a machine has been at work along the Mohawk Subdivision and is currently tied down in the Fonda Yard. The ballast cleaner is used to break up pockets of mud that can cause poor drainage. This allows for drainage and helps to provide a more stable base for the tracks to lay on.

Pictures of things often unseen in the world of railroading. Interesting equipment, operations, and people that help the railroad go around.
