DR80211 Pandrol Jackson Plain Line Stoneblower

Pandrol Jackson Plain Line Stoneblower No. DR80211, operated by Network Rail, passing Claydon Lane Bridge, near Ashchurch Station in Gloucestershire, en route from Worcester to Whitland in South Wales on 5th January 2018. This odd-looking machine is a technical marvel and is used to digitally assess the level of the stone ballast on the track during its first pass, and then add ballast where needed on its second run over the same section of track.
