Track Laying Possibilities

I ran across this website and found it interesting. Thought I would share it with you.

Harsco Track Technologies makes equipment for laying and maintaining track.

How about an automated grinder: over 206 feet long, computer controlled, 48 grinding wheels, quarters for 8.

Or maybe just a machine for driving spikes

Too much? How about guide wheels for a truck:

Good opportunity for modelling. Just think of a model grinder moving down the rails emitting sparks everywhere!

I was a bit disappointed, though; None of Harsco's machines can handle the center rail.
