Ooops!!

Some tool those Gigas eh?

Aye! Could run pretty much anything on the end of that thing Biggest obstacle would be the heigth of it, and you'll need a good foundation where you climb on the rails. That's really the only advantages of a tracked railer, on and off anywhere..

Hehe! There are some nice benefits by having your day dictated by how the train traffic is! Can be a real pita too tho

Nothing new to show for. So i better keep up the flow with some old stuff

This was a weekend project. We dug, back filled and was train ready in about 8 hours with two diggers working from each side. One pc55 and a 8t Kubota. x8 160mm cable pipes where laid +1 manhole.

Nigthmare of a job.. Cables everywhere. We had most of them cat scanned and marked of course. But there was such amount of cables in the area that we had to teaspoon dig it all, scraping off maybe 3-5cm at a time..

Rail road related cables is a big issue here. No one knows or want to take responsability for where the cables are or if they are in use. Cat scan is at best a qualified guess, as there is lots of interferance..

did well not to 'kill' any of those Boyo .... nightmare !!

All went well thankfully Worst part was the time schedule combined with digging like you where just about to hit a cable at any time.
The place was side tracks for freigth trains, placing railroad carts filled with cars coming in to the country by sea.. Didnt wanna delay that

That is a nightmare .. have you on the edge of your seat .... still .. I expect that they anticipate you 'hit' an odd service now and again when you are digging blind

Yeah, no one's gonna get shit from anyone for hitting a cable. If it happens, it happens
But it can be very... inconvenient
