This frame includes a tie carrier frame mounted for vertical adjustment on the gantry frame, two tie holders mounted on the carrier frame in superposed relationship for simultaneously receiving, storing and transporting two superposed layers of ties, each tie holder having a pair of tie engaging elements arranged for movement transverse to the direction of track elongation into engagement with respective tie ends in a respective layer, the vertical spacing between the pairs of tie engaging elements corresponding to that of the superposed layers of ties, and a separate drive for transversely moving the tie engaging elements of each tie holder. A common power source is connected to the transverse moving drives, a drive for moving the gantry in the direction of track elongation and a drive for vertically adjusting the tie carrier frame on the gantry frame.
