摘要:
A track working machine having a unitized construction including a tamper carriage and a track lifting attachment with a truss constructed frame carrying jacks intermediate the ends of the frame. The track lifting attachment includes means for automatically moving the forward end of the truss frame in a lateral direction relative to the track wheels upon which it is supported so as to maintain the jacks in a vertically centered position over the track rails and thereby enable the machine to work relatively sharp curved sections of track without the jacks exerting side pull on the rails.
摘要:
A vertically adjustable tie gripping mechanism is mounted for movement through a path extending in the direction of the right of way between end positions respectively adjacent a rail lifting means and one end of an elongated tie conveyor. A guide supports the mechanism so that it is located centrally between the track rails in one end position wherein the mechanism may be vertically adjusted and rotated to swing the ties between a first position transverse of the right of way and a second position parallel thereto, an intermediate position where the ties are laid or removed, and another end position wherein the ties are deposited on, or received from, the one conveyor end. This one conveyor end is below the path of movement of the tie gripped by the mechanism between the intermediate and other end positions of the mechanism.
