Herzog

This is a Herzog MPM (Multi-Purpose Machine). It is used primarily to pick up used track ties piled along refurbished track (using a railed excavator that strattles shallow hoppers). It can be operated by a crew of one.
Oh.. and it’s ugly as hell!

I don't think it needs the sign on the front unless railroad workers are blind. ;o)

Yep, Don't think this rig would fit in on "Thomas the Train." Great shot and informative - thanks. V.

One is never too old to learn. I've not seen or heard of this machine before. Thanks for posting Brad.
