Well we now know why that the Western & Atlantic Sub was very slow today. With a work permit that start from the North-End of Boyce MP WA-132.0 to the North-End of Graysville MP WA-121.4, all hand were on deck as Loram bring out the big boy RG-400 which is leading the calvery of heavy equipment south on the sub. Also not too far behind is the RGS- Specialty Rail Grinding which is also being use to hit location such as switches, crossings and other obstacles that the RG-400 can't get too. Rail grinders have become an increasingly important aspect of railroad maintenance in recent years. The machines greatly help railroads reduce their maintenance costs by extending not only the life of the rail but also other components that make up the track structure such as spikes/anchors, ties, and even the ballast itself.
