ABSTRACT:
A propulsion device for a rail vehicle, such as a railway train, applies power for propulsion directly between the frame of the vehicle and the rails without intervention of wheels. The device includes articulated members for connecting the frame of the vehicle to the device, a hydraulic cylinder for displacing the device between a lifted neutralized position for normal travel and a lowered working position, and two movable cross-bars having jaws mounted at opposite ends thereof. Traction hydraulic cylinders connect each movable cross-bar and the vehicle frame. A hydraulic cylinder is used to engage and disengage the jaws to rails.
