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, ...
Those things have so much goin' on, ..., cool equipment, ...

K_cash1432 I just bought it last month. Its a roller at the moment im trying to decide what motor I want to put in it between a 408 stroker or a ls1 with heads and cam and all the bolt ons. Having a little trouble right now with trying to find some wiring under the dash... Mines almost all there just need a few certain harnesses and can't find the part numbers!

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"!

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.
