A stationary reference system controls the track correction and includes a series of marker posts mounted along the track, a tensioned reference line supported on the posts, and elements releasably holding the tensioned reference line and for adjusting its vertical and lateral position whereby respective reference line sections may be readily mounted, dismounted and adjusted during movement of the machine. A sensor unit is associated with the correction unit and cooperates with, and senses, the tensioned reference line.
