THE  FUTURE  IS  HERE ... AUTOMATION !!! WITH HUMAN SUPERVISION AND SUPER  VISION

 

 

EVER SEE A TRAIN LAY ITS' OWN TRACK?

 

This is what is happening from Chicago to St. Louis for the high speed rail People were stopping along the highway taking pictures. For those who live in the Springfield area and have seen all the machines running up and down the tracks, here is a link to a video that shows you how the concrete ties and rail are put in place.

 

The road bed was raised 13 inches to accommodate the new high  speed rail line between St. Louis , MO and Chicago , IL .

 

There are only two of these track laying machines in the world, one here and one in Europe

I wonder what all those laborers who laid the first cross country track would think if they could  see this!
