Ballast replacer-compactors and related methods are provided. A representative ballast replacer-compactor includes: a frame; a crib compactor mounted to the frame and operative to compact crib ballast; and a compactor bar mounted to the frame and operative to urge crib ballast downwardly and beneath a tie. A representative method for servicing rail system ties includes: engaging crib ballast positioned adjacent to a target tie; and forcing the crib ballast downwardly and beneath the target tie.

Systems and related methods involving isolation tubs are provided. In this regard, a representative system includes: an isolation tub formed of fiberglass reinforced plastic resin, the tub defining a reservoir; concrete positioned within the reservoir; and rails extending across the tub and being supported by the concrete, the rails being spaced from each other to form a special trackwork (STW) assembly.

Systems and related methods involving isolation tubs

A potential energy storage system incorporating multiple track mounted shuttle units having motor/generator drive bogies and structure with an integral transfer mechanism for removably carrying energy storage masses from a first lower elevation storage yard to a second higher elevation storage yard employing excess energy from the electrical grid driving the motors, removing the masses in the second storage yard for energy storage, retrieving the masses and returning the masses from the second storage yard to the first storage yard recovering electrical energy through the generators.
