Behind the Scenes: Ballast Regulator in Action! One of the less common Maintenance-of-Way duties, Ballast Regulation. You're watching our track crew use our Ballast Regulator to reshape the track’s roadbed after the extensive replacement of railroad ties. Regulating is the process of redistributing the ballast (those crushed stones under the tracks) to ensure proper drainage and track support. It’s essential for safety and long-term track stability.Our dedicated staff put in the hard work to maintain over 6 miles of track. It’s just one of the many behind-the-scenes efforts that make every ride possible.Thank you to our amazing track crew for keeping us rolling safely!#FloridaRailroadMuseum #TrackWork #RailroadMaintenance #BehindTheScenes #TrainRide #ParrishFL #RideTheExhibits (fb)
