International Railroad Discussion > Field of?Date: 03/24/22 07:01 Field of? Author: mile250 When I first saw the thumbnail of this image on the Railway Gazette International web page, I wondered what crop was being grown in the foreground. Where I live it would likely be new bell peppers (yay) or broccoli (uhm).
Nope, it's concrete ties with nice green clips.  Date: 03/24/22 07:23 Re: Field of? Author: jtwlunch I don't know where this is other than a place with low cost labor. If this was on a Class 1 the company Industrial Engineer would wet his pants running to the bosses to say how inefficient and costly this is. Great photograph!

Neat shot, though. Date: 03/25/22 12:18 Re: Field of? Author: mile250 Yes, Vossloh products most likely staged for the latest extension of Etihad Rail in the United Arab Emirates.
