Are you using work trains to ballast small spot repairs?

Investigate TMS's patented 15-ton-capacity Ballaster. It eliminates the expense of a locomotive and crew on spot maintenance ballasting. Light, self-propelled equipment can be used to move the cars over the area needing ballast. The car weighs only 11,000 pounds and is easily trucked to the job site.

One-man operation places ballast inside and outside the rails and the discharge door regulates ballast to any desired depth, from the top of the rail to the top of the tie, in just one operation with no wasted ballast! A finish pass, after tamping, grades to the top of the tie. Quick and sure, the Ballaster reduces track time needed for maintenance.

The Ballaster features quality all-steel, fully-welded construction, "axless" truck assembly which assures parallel alignment when placing on rail, and rugged construction which permits loading from trucks or front-end loaders. Special doors for third-rail clearance are available for transit systems.
