Slight problem with that statement.
The Railway companies did have multihead drilling machines but they also had a lot of sleepers to drill and more money available to invest in such equipment.
Even then they still occaisionally had to hand drill the fastening holes.
At least we have progressed to using powertools capable of doing the job.
Have you ever tried drilling a hardwood sleeper let alone drilling the holes for a complete pointwork layout?
