The sweeper is cleaning ballast from the top of the ties. (the dust confused the camera, I should have pre-focused somewhere else first.) |
| Swinging the blade to plow some more back |

The tamper. As Roger said back in the 70's, those machines could move tamp more ballast in 5 minutes than he could all day with a shovel and pick. |

The most amazing part of this job is they actually got all the rail cars out of the east yard for 3 days. I haven't seen it this empty since the big snow plowing job last Spring. |
