A UP crane, mounted to the top of a gondola, works to collect excess new tie plates that are along the right of way. The rail laying along the tracks is a new rail that will be installed. Tie plates were dumped along the track, but were not counted out. After laying out the needed tie plates, the excess are now being collected. You can see one of the tie plates hanging on to the outside of the magnet lifting it.
