The Beast in the East KBR 925 Railroad Brush Cutter

Get a close up tour of an awesome Knox Kershaw KBR 925 Railroad Brush Cutter
including an in cab tour and ride up track in the machine. This brush cutter
is an amazing machine, it refuses to bog down even while cutting heavy
brush on both sides of the track at the same time.

Here's the video where we go out and cut brush along the track:

We had rented this machine in 2018 and it was unavailable since then.
There are very few of these KBR 925 brush cutters around
here in the east. The truck driver that brought this one in told me
that CSX made one similar to this for their own use and he had hauled it for
them many times. He also told me he was happy to get ours off his
truck, it's a rather heavy machine. This one is a rental from RELAM (Railway
Equipment Leasing and Maintenance)

We have 16.8 miles of track here. We rented this machine for 1 month
at an expense of $10,000. Most of the days we cut we had to jump around
a train running, there were a few days we had no trains and all day track,
and a few days we didn't run it at all, but all told it took us about 3 weeks
to cut both sides of the track the entire 16.8 miles.
