specially modified backhoe rides mty gon

Top view of herzog backhoe

here the backhoe has arisen from the car and rides on specially modified struts

Like an insect it crawls along the car- getting ready to attack its prey

there are two car toppers on this 30 car train

riding high on a hopper full of new creosoted ties, the car topper lets 8 go

we unloaded for 5 miles, at 1-2mph, thats about 1000 ties

the lead machine unloads two groups of eight ties, the second fills in to total 25
