The relentless pounding of massive locomotives and heavy ore cars demands as few bolted rail joints as possible. When laying new CWR, repairing broken rails, or eliminating bolted rail joints, this mobile flash-butt welder can quickly and economically join two rail ends together in-track to form a seamless string of steel. QNS&L's colourful paint scheme looks great on this piece of high-tech equipment.
