Not taking passengers.
I’d have busted out the hitchhiker’s thumb lmao
Trucks replacing trains now smh
Can’t park there, mate!
Super cool! It’s probably self explanatory, but this type of road-rail plant (heavy vehicle) is able to drive around on normal roads but then jump onto the train tracks, at a level crossing or a similar designed transfer point. I’ve seen them used in construction but makes total sense to use it for laying new ballast (small stones) here. Not something I’ve directly worked in so I’m sure other people will have more insight.
There’s your problem right there, that’s a truck mate
Oh look, a trainck.
My whole life I have dreamed of driving one of those Hi-Rail trucks 😛
I saw something similar outside Flinders Street station but it was for trams.
Obviously you ppl have never seen Alaskan Railroads or Australian Railroads which is on channel 7 mate Tuesday’s. It shows you what and how they do the ballast etc and repairing train tracks
Trainsformers!
Tell me you hopped on.
We got trucks on our muddafugga trains!
soon to be called Jordan-O-Bahn
The government doesn’t want you to know this….But the train track rocks are free. You can just pick them up and take them home. I have 420 rocks I picked up and no one has stopped me yet!
Uh, yeah. It’s a rail replacement truck. /s
