That's probably like one of the coolest purpose built machine I've ever seen. In my head I originally thought they did it by hand, lol.

You'll love the railway track laying machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMXfU8blPMM
Yikes, that guy just sitting underneath the moving gantry loaded with tons of sleepers... And then the other fellow crawling in between the wheels of the whole machine _while it is moving_... Do they not have something like OSHA wherever this was filmed??

Also, disappointing they didn't actually show the new railstock being laid, just the ballast and sleepers :/

That was filmed in Germany, I would think safety rules are similarly to the US. Maybe it's not as dangerous as it looks at first glance.
Definitely! A train on the train, lovely real yo dawg (:
