Equipment from 2.58 is a HCBR (High capacity ballast removal) - pure beast of a machine . Removes old ballast and replaces it with new. Machine 3.47 then arranges the ballast to make sure even coverage over the tacks. And 4.03 is a tamper which aligns the tracks for smooth running. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone!

#4 i'm just browsing rail', yet within the e.u. not all railways agree on that 'not-bolted' iron, even if so proven for speeds up to 250km/h: so all those automatic procedures implemented to non-electrified lines (usually designed for none trans-continental lanes), can't raise an interest unless within the ruhr-basin, or similar commuter-planned line. amazing machines, yet obsolete when taking it to infrastructure development nowadays: commuter flying, maglev, electrified european railway brought to 250km/h and above (some of it still bolted-in for earthquakes prevention, usually). max

Sometime in the future it will be a huge machine of those running across a mountain and it will flatten the surface while building houses.
