ABSTRACT:
A railroad track lifting and aligning device mounted for track travel on a longitudinally extending main frame of a track working machine and having a track aligning sub-frame extending transversely of the main frame. Wheels on the sub-frame engage the rails of the track, and rail contacts on the sub-frame engage the inside of each of the rails of the track. A track lifting rail hook guide member is provided for each of the rails of the track mounted for vertical movement on and relative to the sub-frame at each end thereof on vertically extending guide-rods on the sub-frame. A rail hook for externally engaging a rail of the track is provided in each of the guide members, and an apparatus for adjusting the position of a rail hook in its guide member, longitudinally of the sub-frame is provided. Track aligning jacks are mounted on the device for moving the sub-frame laterally of the main frame, and track lifting jacks are connected to each of the guide members to move each member, with its hook, vertically of the sub-frame along the guide-rods to adjust the vertical position of the hook relative to the sub-frame and to lift said track vertically.
