    Grinder going away

    This is the same grinder that was posted in my earlier image, but it is going away. This end unit is a grinder, whereas the lead unit seems to the the locomotive or power for this train.

    "Mini-rail grinder" G-9 profiling at MP 119 in Huntington, MA. on Feb. 15, 1991. My memory tells me this was a ConRail machine, but looking at the markings on the side of the cab, it may be Pandrol-Jackson. No notes (very unlike me!) and this is the onlt shot, so.....? By the Way...

    Grind it up!

    Finally managed to catch a Railgrinder in action, even though this is the 'mini' version, it's still impressive. Note the camera pointed down at the track, the fire extinguishers on the sides and the bucket on the front porch. Sure looks like a re-worked GE 80T. Only a few weeks ago these...
