R J Corman Installing Welded Rail (8 of 8)
I visited Tavares, Florida on January 21, 2014 to photograph the R J Corman Railroad Construction Company's installation of Continuously Welded Rail on the Florida Central Railroad's Right Of Way. Florida Central Railway (FCEN) is a Pinsley Company.
RJ Corman had several Large Machines that they were using to replace the old jointed rail with Continuously Welded Rail. They had machinery for spreading Ballast, placing Wooden Ties, Laying the very long sections of Rail, machines to position the Tie Plates and to insert Spikes thru the Tie Plates into the Ties, in order to secure the Rail to the Ties.
Finally they had Welding Machines to Weld the Long Rail Segments together and Ballast Tampers/Ballast Regulators to secure and align the Ties/Rails within the Ballast. I have included eight photos showing the Welds, Rails, Ballast and some of the Maintenance Of Way Machines.
Since Tavares calls itself America's Seaplane City, I was also able to Photograph some of the Seaplanes within another group of 5 recently posted flickr™ Photos.
