摘要： A railcar-moving vehicle comprises a modified semi tractor with retractable railroad wheels and an air bag suspension system. A load-shifting device is pivotally disposed rearward on the vehicle frame, and includes a lifting coupler configured to couple to a coupler of a railcar. A coupler airbag is disposed below the lifting coupler, and configured to inflate with compressed air concurrently with the air bag suspension system, so as to simultaneously apply upward force upon the coupler of the railcar and downward force on the drive wheels, which directly contact the rails, so as to transfer a portion of the weight of the railcar to the drive wheels of the railcar-moving vehicle. The railcar-moving vehicle is capable of extended operation at highway speeds both on and off rails.

摘要： An improved self-propelled mobile track vehicle (MTV) capable of traveling by road at normal highway speeds and traveling by rail after conversion at a narrow railroad crossing by producing a device for rotating the vehicle 90 degrees. The vehicle is powered by a diesel engine driving through a power shift transmission to the roadway and railway axles. A significant advantage over other types of road/rail vehicles is that 100 percent of the vehicle's weight is carried on the rail wheels, which are powered and braked, thereby allowing higher and safer rail speeds. One way to convert the vehicle from roadway travel to railway travel is to maneuver it into a position parallel to the track at a road crossing. The rail axles are then extended and road axles retracted. In addition, a turntable mounted at the vehicle's center of gravity also allows the vehicle to convert at a narrow road crossing. While at railway/roadway crossing the unit raises and rotates 90 to align with the desired roadway or railway. The vehicle can assist in starting a train by extending the powered road axle so that the inner rubber tires contact the rail and the high traction of rubber on rail assists in increasing starting traction of the vehicle thus allowing the vehicle to assist in starting a train.

摘要： A vehicle for operation on both road and railroad track (off road) is provided with a wheeled chassis comprising a steered front wheel axle and rear wheel differential axle(s), all with road or rubber tire wheels. A front axle and a rear wheel differential axle(s) are provided with rail wheels, the rear rail wheel axle(s) being suspended horizontally behind the rear most tired axle(s) of the wheel chassis. The rail wheel differential axle(s) are horizontally displaceable to be moved into engagement with the railroad track during the lifting of adjacent road or rubber tire wheels out of engagement with the ground. The rear rail wheel differential axle(s) is located behind the rear most wheel axle(s) for road or rubber tire wheels of the vehicle and is being driven by the rubber tire vehicles differential in front of it. The rail differential axle(s) also incorporates a link suspension system including an engagement mechanism permanently secured to the rear part of the vehicle. In conjunction with this rail drive system a holding device including an anti axle dive system is to be installed on the rear road or rubber tire wheel suspension system so that it holds the suspension system and axle(s) at a fixed dimension when the steel wheel differential axle(s) is engaged with the rail and lifts the road or rubber tired axle(s) and suspension system out of engagement with the ground. The above application may be reversed so that the steel rail wheel axle(s) are in front of the road or rubber tire wheel axle(s).

摘要： A railcar moving vehicle having a hydraulic system for raising the vehicle coupler while coupled to a railroad car or the like to transfer weight from the railcar to the vehicle. By this invention, fluid pressure in the hydraulic power line is sensed, to monitor an increase in the fluid pressure as the hydraulic system raises the vehicle coupler while coupled to a railcar. Then, when a substantial termination of the increase in fluid pressure is sensed as the hydraulic coupler is raised, an indicator signals the occurrence of this event, typically by automatically terminating the hydraulic raising of the vehicle coupler. Thus, weight may be transferred without overraising the railcar, without the need for estimating the weight of the railcar prior to the weight transfer process.
