mt4's are for tamping track.Hand tamping at diamonds are fact of life as tonnage turns stone to dust under the constand pounding.

Mudchicken Nothing is worth taking the risk of losing a life over. Come home tonight in the same condition that you left home this morning in. Safety begins with ME.... cinscocom-west

Lots of activity on the Rochelle, IL diamond today; they've broken out some of their big stuff to work on it.  I'm guessing there's someone looking at this who can tell us exactly what they're doing; perhaps replacing the diamonds?   Junior Yardmaster
