Network Rail ACCEPTS a pair of High Output Ballast Cleaners

摘要

The first of two RM 900 RT High Output Ballast Cleaners underwent a series of demanding checks and tests to obtain an Engineering Acceptance Certificate for use on the UK network. Two RM 900 RT High Output Ballast Cleaners were ordered by Network Rail from Plasser & Theurer in 2002 and 2003. The first entered service in August 2004 on the Great Western Main Line, and the second began work on the East Coast Main Line last month. It is operated and maintained by First Swietelsky, the same joint venture that operates the machine based at Reading.
