ABSTRACT:
A continuously advancing machine for leveling, lining and tamping a track has a machine frame supported on undercarriages for continuous movement in an operating direction, a power plant and operating controls carried by the machine frame, and a tool carrier frame having a rear end supported on an undercarriage. A tamping tool assembly associated with each rail is mounted on the tool carrier frame immediately ahead of the undercarriage supporting the rear tool carrier frame end for tamping ballast in intermittent tamping cycles under the ties at points of intersection of the two rails and the ties. Each tamping tool assembly is vertically movably mounted on the tool carrier frame and includes two pairs of vibratory and reciprocatory tamping tools spaced from each other in the operating direction so that each pair of tools is in vertical alignment with a respective one of two successive cribs. A track lifting and lining unit is associated with the two rails mounted on the tool carrier frame ahead of the tamping tool assemblies and is arranged on the tool carrier frame between two undercarriages spaced in the direction of the track, and a longitudinally adjustable coupling pivotally connects the tool carrier frame to the machine frame for driving the tool carrier synchronously with the intermittent tamping cycles.
