Engineering porn doesn't get much better than this. That was a great video. My wife did not agree.

I would like to see how they trim the ends though. Of course there is an overlap after pulling the rails in, how do they mate the two ends? A big cutoff wheel?

Edit, I was using some american vernacular, sorry.

also, how do they tighten the rails to the ties/sleepers?. Looks like only a hammer is needed but it seems too easy.

I wanna see how they weld it.

That job must suck. Every day as the track progresses it means your commute to and from work gets a little longer, haha.

Psh, John Henry could do that so much faster.
