A unique and RARE train to see is a ballast dumping train in action! These Herzog GPS trains are a sight to see, and integrate modern tech into the railroad scene. They make things work a LOT faster, kick up dust, and are pretty cool to see working the rails.
We'll start off in Saint Paul, and watch as the train drops fresh rock along the rails. As the train eases towards the camera, and drone, we'll see how the automated ballast dropping happens. One by one, each car opens its doors, and drops fresh rocks along the ROW. This is done from the locomotive cab; its not only safer then traditional means, but MUCH faster and efficient.
