Guess this must go here...laying track

Ever wonder how the Europeans get their railroad track
so precise and perfect enough so to support 200-300mph
trains. Their must a genius or two to design rail laying
equipment like you'll see here.

I'm sure Amtrak has a machine something like this one.
The one I saw laid a geo-textile layer down after the ballast was scooped up to be cleaned, then the clean ballast went on top. This layer left water seep down thru it, but kept mud/etc from flowing up thru it into the clean ballast.
