I couldn't stop thinking about the hirom grinder today and began to wonder about US railroads. Do US railroads use Hirom grinders?

We use Loram! I've never actually seen a Loram railgrinder, but that's all that I can recall seeing on railpictures.net....Joe LeMay

We actually made an entire Rail Grinding Train based on the US prototype... Look in the file library under NALW and Grinder...

I`ve seen the railgrinder at work.....at night which is awesome.....and during the day. Right now a railgrinder is on the UP transcon at Rochelle,IL......been there all week with a large gang replaced ties as well. Just a note...........the first time I witnessed it......it was at night on BN`s racetrack just west of Clyde yard.......my first thought was the BN shoved a railcar that was on fire out of the yard NALW did a helluva job on it too!CG

RE: railgrinders

If anybody would like I have a few pics of a railginder train working outside of Tucson on the UP. Give me a heads up and I'll put them in the screenshots forum. George
