Anyone know the name of the piece of equipment that moves new ribbon rail from outside the track to the inside before replacement? Its made by Brandt, or at least thats the name on the front.

Thanks, John

Here is the Brandt website. http://www.brandt.ca/

From their site. This might be what you saw. Unfortunately the photo links are broken:

"Brandt has extensive experience in designing custom solutions to accomidate new practices. The self propelled rail puller takes the slack out of up to two miles of CWR rail before it is layed in the track.

With over 200,000 lbs of pulling force on each rail it has enough power to straighten kinks around the sharpest of curves."

Thanks. I tried to google them but never got that site.
