A Plasser Tamper at the gas station (Brazil)
Author: pedrop

Today afternoon I found a broad gauge Plasser taper machine on truck at a gas station on MG-010 road near here. It was overhauled by a company in my town and it is on the way to Mara Rosa, GO to work in the construction of the FICO RR,  a new railroad under construction with 1,641 km long in the West.

1 - 3) The nice machine at Ipiranga gas station.

4) A Volvo SH truck was chosen to take it to the new rr;

5) The machine weights 40 metric tonnes;

6) Details of the levers.

That's all for today.

Those units are amazing to see in action. Rarely get to se them up close and as clean as that one is.
Thanks for the post, Pedro.
