WHAT DO CHIEF ENGINEERS WANT IN M/W MACHINERY

Chief engineers from some of the largest railroads in the U.S. answer questions about the current state of maintenance of way machinery. Among their responses: what they look for when purchasing and operating it, most useful new developments, improvements they'd like to see, what has yet to be developed and the best in high-cost and low-cost machinery. Reliability, adaptability and the ability to combine jobs are some of their preferences.
