[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by mudchicken DC-20 is an ultrasonic rail test truck looking for rail defects. Wherever it goes, bedlam is sure to follow. (slow orders, whining dispatchers, frazzled track gangs changing rail, welders, delayed trains...that type of bedlam) .... may now be equipped with a rail corrugation analyser as well (and yes, it's GPS equipped) MC [/quote] Thanks M C [:)] The ties and ballast were redone within the last year or so. This was on the Van Buren sub but still in North Little Rock (Levy area). The tracks go under I-40 and there is major work on the road and bridges in our area. I was curious if the current road work had anything to do with DC-20 being here. Just a note--the Camp Robinson spur is right there also. This spur sees MOW equipment parked there every now and then. A year or two ago they parked a CNW unit there for a day or two. I wish now I would have taken a pic or two of it but didn't. The special WWII Trains magazine showed a troop train at Camp Robinson being loaded with solders going off to war. Who knows when the last "real" train (not MOW equipment) went down those tracks. It would have been sometime between WWII and who knows when.
