It is possible to change sleepers faster than we do here, but normally we change carefully, because we do not have tampers etc. So this is the careful way of changing. On the northern part of the net (Västervik-Hultsfred) they change in the fast way, but they need to change more sleepers each year due to more (and heavier) trains, going faster than on our part where maximum speed is 30km/h.

Neat bit of machinery that. Saves a bit of heavy moving.

Yeah. But on this strech of track we needed to change some of the sleepers by hand (pull out, dig, push in, fasten rails), before we could use the machine. It was pretty bad sleepers there (speed limit 10km/h)
