Overview
"A firm foundation is paramount to proper track performance and proper drainage is key to maintaining that foundation." Loram, 2010.
Dirty Ballast, an oxymoron? It's actually wet ballast. Water trapped in the ballast leading to frost heave, tie deterioration, and strength deterioration.
Self-propelled, twin 30-inch wide digging buckets, digging as deep as 16 inches and discharging up to 29 feet from the centerline of track. Seeing is believing.
