Western Railroad Discussion > Mini rail grinderDate: 04/30/04 20:19 Mini rail grinder Author: up833 There has been a rail grinder photo or two posted but I dont think a photo of one like this has been on before...lately at least. Caught this in British Columbia a few years back. Pandrol Jackson working on some turnouts.

Africansteam Date: 04/30/04 21:53 Re: Mini rail grinder Author: GEOANGEL Pretty cool! I've never seen a grinder like that.
Any idea of the origins of this piece of equipment? Is it an old locomotive chassis that's been converted? Thanks for posting the photo. George, Fontana,Cal.

I guess it would make sense that there would be times something is needed to do small areas, without having to bring the whole big one out. This one almost looks like it has a Euro origin.

CPRchris' photo has the pony trucks/platforms added to allow space for dust collectors.
