    Our Strategic Plant Team performed in true Colas Rail fashion when they were asked to assist in the recovery of a derailed train on Sunday 24th March at Laira, near Plymouth. The Colas Rail Kirow 1200 Rail Crane was used to lift the carriage back on the track as shown below.

    Did someone say continuous tamping action? Our new tampers are just so satisfying to watch! Conventional machines would have to stop and start when tamping track now its all done while the machine is still in motion. #TAMPERTUESDAY
