Concrete Tie Installation at Northport

Hey guys, first post here.
I got some footage of the LIRR installing concrete ties on the PJ branch, and just thought I'd share with you all.
Enjoy!

This is why the second track to Ronkonkoma went in so fast. Great video!

Great video! I uploaded similar footage yesterday of the MOW train with two MP15s on the MP15ACs Out and About topic yesterday as well in case if anyone visiting here hasn't seen that.

Thanks for the video! This should make for a better, safer ride, plus it's an amazing process to watch.

Fascinating, and it was all ready for Monday morning's rush. Did they put down new ballast, or just clean that which is there? Thanks.

Yep, new ballast to go with it. I was surprised myself that they did it all in time too
