Re: New 36" gage ballast regulator

Nice photos. THANKS! Now there is a machine that could sure serve C&TS if they change over from Cinder/Volcanic ash to hard stone ballast.
Great to see that new 3' track equipment is still being designed.
Another recent tool was the conversion that the Friends of EBT did to a tie insertor from SG to dual gauge and it worked great. Pulled out the old tie and pushed in a new tie with only two men. They tied one south end shop track in a day.
The FEBT crew also spiked up that track with a small quiet air compressor and air gun. Progress is being made at increasing rates and the news magazines ignore all these rebuilding groups.
Trains magazine and other should do a large article on all the reconstruction going on across the nation from Maine to Hawaii-where a new 3' line just got built.
