2.1.14.5 Maintenance of Way - Rail Renewal Train

Modeling Information

See Circular 8.5 Rail Renewal Operations for more information.

The WWSL

The Station Agent will identify the need for MOW Rail Renewal operations. The agent will coordinate MOW movement with the Dispatcher.

The WWSL will use a Work Extra to conduct tie renewal on the roadway. The rail train does one of two things: It either deposits the new welded rail alongside the track where it is to re-place the old rail, or it picks up the old rail that has been replaced, and hauls it somewhere to replace other rail in a siding or some place. The MOW Department has a locomotive crane, a derrick car, a rail car and several MOW flat cars with rail renewal machines..
