ABSTRACT:
A rail segmenting machine for releasable attachment to the boom structure and hydraulic system of a hydraulic excavator. The present invention includes a frame consisting of rigid spaced apart plates that generally define a top end, an inlet end, a bottom end, an outlet end and an interior cavity. The top end of the frame is releasably secured to the boom structure and hydraulic system of the excavator and includes mounting ears extending outwardly therefrom adjacent the inlet end for swingable mounting of a hydraulically operated grapple thereto. A hydraulically operated notching arm is pivotally secured within the cavity of the frame and cooperates with an anvil secured to the bottom portion of the frame for producing a notch in a railroad rail extending therebetween. A hydraulically operated breaking head is mounted adjacent the outlet end of the frame and moves in a direction perpendicular to the extension of the rail exterior of the outlet end of the frame. The breaking head is operated to apply force to the rail against the anvil thereby breaking the rail at the notched point thereof. Release of the clamping arm allows the rail to drop by the force of gravity and contact the stopping arm. Subsequent sequential operation, as above described, results in the segmenting of the entire rail into smaller pieces.
