track cleaners

A machine to remove gob from railroad tracks, between rails, and to a distance of 48 in (1.2 m) from the track centers. Digger plates remove gob to the top of ties, while wings on either side of the machine gather it from the sides of the track into the track, to be moved by conveyors to a car at the machine's rear. One person operates the towing motor and observes the digging, while another controls the digging plate height, adjusts wing plows, and observes loading.
