Compact tamping machines by Plasser & Theurer maintain tracks on every continent under the most diverse conditions – like those in Côte d'Ivoire. The rail network in Côte d'Ivoire is undergoing a large-scale expansion and renewal for developing and removing raw materials as well as for expanding passenger transport.
To that end, the time-tested Duomatic 08-32 C tamping machine of the new generation is used. Machine operators Tonye and Manguembi talk about their experiences with this tamping machine in Cameroon and give insights into their working lives.
