| Description: | Sweden. "More mechanical marvels to minimise hard work." Swedish State Railways are using a new method to speed up the laying of the cables needed for the electrification of the line. A trench is dug by one machine as the train moves along, another machine "somewhat reminiscent of a plough" is coupled to the train and the heavy cable is laid in the trench. Various shots of this process. | |
