Yea, post'em up, I'd like to see it.
I know the stretch from GI to Alliance will have lots of things goin' on for the next couple years with the new line being laid-down.
I travel out that way every so often & there ain't crap to see but barren land for 3hours along that line, ...

We have Laser canons for every tamper. Not only do we have 6700's but we have 6700SJ's Jupiter machines that don't require an operator to constantly push the pedal. (Our Dyna Cat has the same feature, I might be able to post a video up of it).
have 3 different 09-3x machines in Nebraska as well as 2 Track Finish Machines and 2 RM80 switch undercutters.

Had those Laser for over 7 years now, DONT point them @ airplanes tho!! (Ask How i Know)

Bet those jackson 6700's dont have "measure" mode that lets the machines log up to 10miles of track setup and tamp all ten miles on its own with only a person supervising the machine watching for "errors"!

I do signal department, I baby sit our stuff so MOW opperators dont hit it casue it never fails when were not there doin somehting else our shit gets hit... And as far as the 6700 i have never been in the cab of one or really asked about them so i couldnt tell ya much about them but i will ask tomoro and see what all they can do.

Why the hell didnt my photo bucket have that lil grey box on the side that lets you copy those links?

Its under the tab on mine. I just clicked share

I figured it out i must of been in the mobile site. I got to the full side and it had the grey share box...

The Nebraska pages have been blowing up lately, whats the deal?!

your looking good in the 3x RD!! But I think the Thunder Cat is your home! LOL

that 3xrd looks way more efficiend than the 6700 anp pup tampers we run. but when they tamp they are going down 3-4x each time they drop the heads so idk how much better that packs the rocks in. And bnsf ballist looks allot bigger than those videos is that right or is it just me?

Big squeeze cylinders on the Plassers compared to Jacksons, like comparing Chevy to Ford, they are better and have more power! lol! Not sure about the ballast though. Our Jacksons squeeze 3 to 4 times also.

Lj i think i wanna hear about your not supose to point lasers at air plaines...

Pontiacfan do you work for bnsf?

Nope, ..., Outside sales, hyd/pneu/controls/etc., travel NE & swSD.
So I deal with the people working on them & the people who build equipment.
I'm just amazed at how they work, ...

Is outside sales the name of the company you work for? Were you up in anselmo a couple of weeks ago to work on our boom truck? Its kind of a POS...

No, that's the 'job' title.
No, not working on trucks.
No, not in Anselmo.


One thing I do notice when traveling along both the UPRR & BNSF rail lines, ..., the BN engines are always cleaner than the UP.
