See how a Gandy Dancer Drives Railroad Spikes. Windmill Spiking
and driving spikes with a hydraulic spike driver.

Gandies take a lot of pride in how they drive spikes. It is one of the marks
of a good gandy. It's fun to drive spikes with a spike maul or track hammer.
But at the age I am, I've slowed down a considerable bit at driving spikes which
really does not sit well with me. But like Toby Keith sang, "I ain't as good as I once was,
I got a few years on me now. But there was a time, back in my prime,
When I could really lay it down."

I do apologize for the very last clip in this video. It was really cold and
it seemed like the camera goofed up and caused the clip to look and
sound like it was in slow motion. The driver actually did better and
sounded better than what was displayed. Thank you so much for watching,
we really do appreciate it.
