The old ties are pushed out and new ones are pushed into all by machinery. The old are then stacked up, by mach¬ inery with approximately 16 a pile. The machine then along and picks up the stack ties. A large machine tamps in the new cross ties in just a fraction of the time it take 10 men. This seems very remarkable; reminds one of giant reaches down under the and pushes them up the rails. This machine is by compression and is ly noisy.
