It really is true "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

Re: Pilbara

here we have a flashbutt rail welder. 25m lengths of rail are welded into 400m lengths (called strings). These are loaded onto the rail train which drops them off at selected renewal sites around the pilbara. The grubby looking train in the middle is the rail grinder. This grinds existing rail back to the correct profile, and removes potential crack start points.
