ABSTRACT:
A process and apparatus for breaking railroad rails into small pieces of predetermined length includes a trailer having an infeed conveyor mounted on the bed thereof. A rail breaker device is mounted on the trailer bed adjacent the discharge end of the infeed conveyor, and a stop member is positioned downstream of the discharge end of the infeed conveyor and in obstructing relation with respect to rails moved by the infeed conveyor. The rail breaker device includes a hydraulically operated clamping and scoring member which is operable to clamp the end of the rail against the anvil plate, and to simultaneously score and cut the rail. An hydraulically operated impact member is positioned between the clamping and scoring member and the stop member, and is operable to break the rail along the score line whereby rails moved by the infeed conveyor may be continuously broken into pieces of predetermined length.
