This past summer I drove out of the way to see the backwoods of the UP through central Iowa. As I drove i started noticing UP trucks loaded with crews. And then i found them. For about a 3-5 mile span, there were Maintence of Way equipment every 500 or feet or so tearing up ties and replacing them. They were also redoing the roadbed. Any way, are MOW equipment leased or owned by the railroads? Also, is there any typical time schedule for maintence, such as replacing ties, roadbed, rails,etc.? Being the big train fan i should know this but, i figured I would ask and try to get some answers from all of you. Thanks!
