By Peter HildebrandtCEG CORRESPONDENT
The tie and surfacing gang ofNorfolk Southern RailwayCompany has been working on theline between Charlotte, N.C., andAugusta, Ga., for several monthson a section of about 190 mi. (306km) of track. Though creosote-coated, extremely heavy and solid(ask anyone who’s ever had tomove), railroad ties eventuallydeteriorate from steady use anduntold tons of daily pressure onthem. Getting equipment onto the
tracks and doing the work whenthe trains aren’t running on thetracks seems like a tricky job, yetrailroads do manage to ratherseamlessly and efficiently updateworn tracks and ties on a fairly reg-ular basis. Robin Chapman, manager of
public relations for NorfolkSouthern in South Carolina andNorth Carolina explained that therate at which they are replaced is
perhaps more often than we mayimagine: every 10 to 20 years orsometimes even more frequently,depending on various environmen-tal factors involved. This is what iscalled program maintenance, andhow often this reconditioning isdone depends on how much railtraffic a particular line gets. This is how the replacement and
repair work starts: the ties that arein the worst shape and are most inneed of repair are marked with aclearly-visible white spot. In thestretch crews are currently work-ing on, the Norfolk Southern willreplace about half the ties, or about1,800 per mile.That is a lot of ties. Luckily, they
have a train to bring them to theright place. The train runs withloads of fresh railroad ties and aloader that sits up high on the backof the train unloads those ties inpiles on the sides of the tracks.Large piles of railroad ballast rockmaterial for the bed are piled at theside of the tracks near the roadcrossings. Eventually the ballast isspread evenly down the railroadline, and the new ties are spreadout from their piles. A single oper-ator double track cleaner slowlymakes its way down sections of theline, brushing and cleaning off thetracks and ties to make the sectionsclean and clearly visible prior tothe final work of replacing the ties.Some time later, equipment
comes along, picks up the new ties,lifts the rails up and inserts the tiewhere the old one was. Old ties aredisposed of by a company thatNorfolk Southern contracts with,National Salvage, based in Ohio.Because the ties contain creosote,they have to be disposed of in anenvironmentally sound way.

Some hand labor is involved with this project, but the majority of the work is machine-operatedwork.

The tie and surfacing gang of Norfolk Southern RailwayCompany has been working on the line between Charlotte, N.C.,and Augusta, Ga., for several months on a section of about 190mi. (306 km) of track. see RAILWAY page 2
Despite the busyness of this stretch of rail line,
the work of tie replacement is proceeding flawlessly
and on schedule.

of them are turned into fuel forpower plants, according toChapman.
New spikes are hammeredinto the new ties to connect therails to them. The spikes are driv-en in by spiker machines, anoth-er one of those rolling machinesoperated by one person. The railworkers then come in and recon-dition the ballast or the road bed.
The truck used to run on bothtracks and the road and usedextensively with this work iscalled a highrailer. The machin-ery used for this project isdesigned by Norfolk Southernand built in-house, according toChapman, much of that equip-ment is produced at its CharlotteRoadway Shop. Some hand laboris involved with this project, butthe majority of the work ismachine-operated work. Someworkers are needed to go in anddo the finishing touches by hand.
Typically they’ll work on
about a couple of miles a day,They’ll be allowed designatedtrack time when the dispatcherswill not be running any trains onthat stretch, and they know thatand they will do as much as theycan during that window.
Then they clear out, let thetrains run by and they’re givenmore track time so they can goback in and continue to work.The sidings (the low-speed tracksections that are apart from athrough track) enable work carsto be placed out of the way whilethe main trains still continue torun on a regular basis.
Such work has been somewhatof an evolutionary process,according to Chapman. The com-pany is always innovating newand better ways of modifyingmachines to make the processmore efficient. It is something ofan incremental improvementover the years. Communicationhappens with the two-way radiosystem they’ve always used dur-
ing such operations.Despite the busyness of this
stretch of rail line, the work of tiereplacement is proceeding flaw-lessly and on schedule. Some ofthe fairly slow-moving freighttrains that run through this areaon a regular basis each day arecarrying products from pulp milloperations taking place nearby.The plants served by this lineprobably haven’t even felt apause in their full work scheduledue to the steady work on thetracks.
For these important commer-cial investments to operate, theydepend on the Norfolk Southernto get their product to where itneeds to go. So, when the currentsection of track is finished, thecrew will head down the track towork on another section.

Yancey Bros. Co., based in Austell,Ga., recently announced the addition ofGuy Milliken to its management teamfor support of the new CaterpillarVocational Truck line.Milliken joins Yancey as the Cat
Vocational Truck Sales Manager andhas spent the past 37 years in the truck-ing industry at both the manufacturerand dealer levels. Milliken began his career in
Newburgh, N.Y., in 1973 with MackTruck Inc., prior to moving to Atlantafour years later. On the manufacturer side, Milliken
developed a dealer network for thelaunch of a new truck product into theU.S. market in the mid 1980s.Following the launch, he moved to thedealer side of the business and has heldpositions ranging from Technician toService Manager to SalesRepresentative. He also provides astrong knowledge of the used truckmarket and truck financing. Milliken will provide sales and serv-
ice support to Georgia customers as thenew Caterpillar Vocational Truck offer-ings continue to expand.“After looking into this opportunity,
I realized that joining a company that isalmost 100 years old, covers the entirestate of Georgia very well, is customer-
oriented and focused on complete cus-tomer satisfaction is a great opportuni-ty,” said Milliken. “That’s what theattraction was that drew me here. Plus,having a product launch for Caterpillarand our vocational truck, which iswhere my 37 years of experience hasbeen, felt like a natural fit. “I’ve worked with Yancey for years
from the engine side of the businessselling other brands of trucks. I foundthat the management, administrationand support system that is in place issecond to none in the industry,” he said.“We really have a jump on other truckmanufacturers and their dealershipgroups. We cover the entire state forservice and support, where othersmight service just smaller geographicareas. Yancey Bros. Co. has proven tome over the years that their number onegoal is customer satisfaction.” Milliken’s immediate focus is to
build and provide sales, training andsupport for the Yancey sales group withthe objective of quickly putting theCaterpillar Vocational Truck productinto the hands of existing Yancey cus-tomers and then broaden the approachto prospects in the rest of the state ofGeorgia.“Caterpillar has never had a truck
before, so from a sales perspective, we
have to forge a new base,” Millikensaid. “However, the relationships wehave built from the machine side of thebusiness make the sales of the voca-tional trucks a natural fit for existingequipment customers who alreadyhave a truck fleet.“Whether it is for a dump truck,
refuse truck or a day cab tractor, eachtruck we order will be for a specificvocation,” he continued. “When wetake the order and get all the specificsof what a customer requires, we’ll takecare of building an end-product that,when delivered, will be ready for ourcustomer to put their decal on the truck,turn the key and go to work.“When we place our truck orders on
a regular basis from Cat, when theycome in, we will typically outfit themwith a body that will be road-readyequipment with a goal of providingimmediate one-stop shopping. From aparts and service standpoint, our teamwill be well-trained professionals.Caterpillar is currently conductingtraining sessions for our Techniciansand product support staff specificallyfor the Cat Vocational Truck line,”Milliken said.For more information, call 855-

Education Foundation of Ga. Holds Annual Career Expo
Yancey Bros. Co., based in Austell, Ga., recentlyannounced the addition of Guy Milliken to its manage-ment team for support of the new CaterpillarVocational Truck line.
On March 17 and 18, 2011, more than6,380 total attendees including 4,705 stu-dents, 851 instructors, 824 parents andadministrators, industry guests, volunteersand exhibitors (from more than 206 schoolsand 311 organizations) attended the 7thAnnual Construction Career Expo, spon-sored by the Construction EducationFoundation of Georgia (CEFGA),Transportation Education Foundation ofGeorgia (TEFGA), and the Georgia UtilityContractor’s Association (GUCA). Members of the GUCA participated in
this event, which had two areas designatedjust for utility construction. This year theutility construction industry area featured ahands-on experience for the students. A stu-dent favorite was sponsored by GUCAmember companies Robert M. AndersonInc.; Brock Built LLC; Richard HarpExcavation Inc.; C. A. Murren & SonsCompany Inc.; and Vermeer Southeast Sales& Service, where students were allowed tooperate and perform certain tasks on heavyequipment. Students could operate three
large excavators, one mini excavator, a standup loader and a crane. The students tried their skills in picking up
balls and placing them in containers with themini excavator, moving timbers and largepiles of mulch with the large excavators andoperating a crane. GUCA members also hadbooths set up so students could find outabout potential job opportunities for careersin the utility construction industry. Flint Equipment brought a heavy equip-
ment computer simulator to show studentshow utility contractors install undergroundutilities. Robert M. Anderson Inc. provided acotton candy machine, and Brock Built LLCprovided a popcorn machine, both of whichwere a huge draw for students. GUCA’s education and safety committee
attended the expo on March 17, 2011, towalk around to see what the expo andSkillsUSA Championships have to offer stu-dents in construction programs looking topursue careers in various facets of the indus-try. They toured the 150,000 sq. ft. conven-tion center and the outdoor utility construc-
tion area. Education and safety committee members
who attended the CEFGA Expo includedRick Borowiec, Reynolds Inc.; MattChatham, Blount Construction CompanyInc.; Jeff Duncan, Cowin EquipmentCompany; Ryan Hoilman, Thompson Pump& Mfg. Co.
