ABSTRACT:
There is shown a mobile machine for the renewal of railroad tracks which includes a work tool carrying chassis to replace old ties by new ones. The machine comprises two wagons, one of which is arranged to transport stock and handle the materials necessary for the track replacement and one of the two wagons rolls and advances on the new reconstituted track. The work tool carrying chassis is interposed between rolling supports of the wagons in a work zone and is suspended from a connecting member on each of the two wagons. The geometrical disposition of the supports and of the joints between the two wagons is such that the longitudinal axis of the tool carrying chassis, in the plane of the track, is automatically tangential with the longitudinal axis of the track. One of the two wagons has two spaced apart rolling supports and is provided with an overhanging extension over the work zone in the form of a bracket terminating in a joint. The second wagon is directly connected at one end to the joint and has a single rolling support spaced therefrom. The work tool carrying chassis is suspended and joined at one end of the overhanging bracket of the wagon having two rolling supports and the other end of the tool carrying chassis is suspended and joined to the wagon having the single rolling support, between the joining point and the single rolling support.
