Hi-Rail Vacuum Truck in Bryn Mawr-Skyway FAQ
What is a hi-rail vacuum truck?

Why use a hi-rail truck instead of a standard vacuum truck?
When the work is inside a rail corridor, a standard truck often cannot reach it. Hi-rail gear lets the truck travel along the tracks to the exact location, which is essential for signal, ballast, and track-side excavation.
