"In response to growing Class I demand, the company also is building a new Badger Ditcher (DC7) — the first new Badger Ditcher to be built in several years— which will begin service in fall. The ditcher will feature a more fuel-efficient engine and the capability to travel in a train. The machine is designed to provide “economical, high-production solutions to drainage problems, such as ballast-filled ditches and slope erosion,” Loram officials said."
