摘要:
Track maintenance apparatus for use in railroad track maintenance utilizes a forward cribber unit to remove ballast from between the crossties and a rear adzer unit to smoothen any irregularities in the crosstie surface during a track re-laying operation. A single worker can perform both the cribbing and adzing tasks without dismounting from the apparatus.

A mobile leveling, lining and ballast packing machine for the non-stop correction of a track comprises a pair of elongated vibratory ballast compacting plates extending along the tie ends at each side of the track and arranged cooperatively to compact the ballast therebetween, a fine correction track lifting and lining unit between the plates, a coarse correction track lifting and lining unit forwardly of the fine correction unit, a first ballast plow and shaping unit associated therewith for moving ballast inwardly from the tie ends during operation of the coarse correction unit, a second ballast plow and shaping unit rearwardly of the fine correction unit, and ballast tampers compacting ballast against the tie ends rearwardly of the second ballast plow and shaping unit. A stationary reference system controls the track correction and includes a series of marker posts mounted along the track, a tensioned reference line supported on the posts, and elements releasably holding the tensioned reference line and for adjusting its vertical and lateral position whereby respective reference line sections may be readily mounted, dismounted and adjusted during movement of the machine. A sensor unit is associated with the correction unit and cooperates with, and senses, the tensioned reference line.

A mobile track leveling, lining and tamping apparatus is constituted by a single machine assembly of a first vehicle mounted on two undercarriages and carrying therebetween a track correction unit and a tamping unit, a reference system for controlling the track correction, a first instrument for measuring the track position during correction and a second instrument for measuring the track position after correction, and a drive for the vehicle, and a second vehicle associated with and preceding the first vehicle in the working direction but being mechanically separated therefrom. A separate drive for the second vehicle enables the machine assembly to be operated while the first vehicle advances intermittently and the second vehicle advances non-stop. A ballast plow and an indicator for indicating and surveying the corrected track position are mounted on the second vehicle.

The invention provides for a stop device positioned on a railroad track shifting machine such as a track lifting and/or tamping machine and a sensor for generating a control signal to terminate or control the shifting action of the machine when the shifting force on the rail exceeds a predetermined value.

A railroad bed assembly for supporting thereon metallic railroad tracks is formed with a base structure which consists essentially of reinforced concrete made as prefabricated blocks with the base structure including a slab section adapted to be installed over a ground formation at the railroad bed site and with at least one upwardly extending projection running transversely to the direction of the tracks and having a trapezoidal cross sectional configuration taken in a plane extending parallel to the tracks. The projection and the slab are integrally formed of prestressed concrete material and the projection extends to form a cross tie for supporting thereupon the tracks.
摘要:
Ballast is compacted and the track is leveled simultaneously by imparting a substantially horizontal vibration to the track while pressing the track substantially vertically down to the desired level.

Fabrics are treated in machine drying apparatus to reduce static electricity carried by the fabrics, soften the fabrics and improve other fabric properties. A sponge impregnated with a heat softenable solid or semi-solid fabric-conditioning agent is placed within the dryer drum and the fabrics are tumbled in the dryer thereby causing some of the fabric-conditioning agent to be transferred to the fabric. When the dryer is heated, the heat of the dryer helps the fabric-conditioning agent to soften and assists in its distribution over the surface of fabric with which the impregnated sponge is brought into tumbling contact.

In track leveling and/or lining with a continuously advancing track tamper, the tamping tools are continuously moved relative to the continuously advancing machine frame in synchronization with the machine advance in such a manner that the tamping tools are held in respective cribs while they tamp the ballast.
摘要:
A mobile track laying machine arranged to move in a working direction from a newly laid corrected to a newly laid uncorrected track section corrects the position of the track at a track correction station. The track correction is controlled by a reference system which includes a reference associated with a track rail. The reference extends in a direction opposite the working direction towards the track correction station between two end points spaced from each other along the track one in the old track section and the other in the uncorrected newly laid track section, and means is provided to position the reference solely in dependence on the position of the track in the old track section.
