Ballast Dumping Train in Action! -Herzog GPS with lots of dust!-
A rare and unique train to see is a ballast dumping train in action! These Herzog GPS trains are a sight to see, and integrate modern tech into the railroad scene. They kick up lots of dust, smoke, all the while precisely dropping ballast along the tracks!
Starting off in Plymouth, MN we'll see a KCS SD70MAC leading a C44-9W, SD70MAC, and a freshly repainted CP SD40-2. As the train eases towards the camera, and drone, we'll see how the automated ballast dropping happens. One by one, each car opens its doors, and drops fresh rocks along the ROW. This is done from the locomotive cab; its not only safer then traditional means, but MUCH faster and efficient.
