| Dang, I dropped my benzodiapine, somebody look for it. This was a tie "dispenser". He would adjust the shoes on the bucket and outriggers to match the eave width of the cars and then pull himself along the cars with the winch mounted in the bucket. The bucket of the backhoe had been replaced with gripper claws that he used to lift ties out of the car and place them on the ground. I've seen a couple times when the operator was lookin' for an immediate means of egress. GREAT job !! |
