I found that facinating too.
A great record for the future when they have another method.

Wallace and Grommet's method of tracklaying in "The Wrong Trousers" had more style.

Don't need soppy machines! The network rail guys just use hammers and crowbars. Lay a mile in an hour!

Looks like the old Pompey to Soton line mate. Time spent in your seat and in the air was split equally.. 50/50

There are 2 of these machines in the world. One here in NZ and the other in Europe.

Versions of that Plasser machine are used here in the States and there are at least 5 in existence, one on each of the major railroads, and one owned by the company. One thing to note though - none are the same. They're all hand built to the customer's specs so while they may have the same model number, each is unique.
