Comment: Carlton station - Closer view of the mechanics of the pandrol placer and inserter.
pict4528 * Carlton Station. The traveling crane on the rail train. The rail train has 'tracks' along the side (like the sleeper train behind the track laying machine) so that it can run along the wagons. * 2560 x 1920 * (2.6MB)

pict4530 * Carlton Station. The near group of guys are placing the pandrols in the correct position for the following pair with the inserter machine to push in. If required they lift the sleeper up to mate with the rail foot. The guys further away are manually knocking in 1 in every 10 sleepers. * 1920 x 2560 * (1.05MB)

pict4531 * Carlton Station - closer view of the Pandrol clip inserters. * 2560 x 1920 * (2.41MB)

pict4532 * Carlton Station - closer view of a Pandrol clip inserter. * 2560 x 1920 * (2.31MB)

pict4533 * Carlton station - This is a mechanised pandrol placer and inserter. Every know and then the operator stopped and poked something with a stick, so it's not completely automatic :-) * 2560 x 1920 * (2.39MB)
