Amtrak Tie Laying Machine Amtrak Keystone Corridor October 2005 |
The TLM is working the former Pennsylvania Railroad Mainline between Paoli and Overbrook PA as part of the Keystone Corridor Plan. |
The rail in the foreground is an excellent example of why 110 MPH speeds are not yet possible. |
The stick rail that is being removed will probably be reused on yard or siding tracks. |
Unlike on the NEC (here and here), they are installing welded rail at the same time. |
