ABSTRACT:
A novel rail jack adapter is disclosed for use with a railroad jack having a base for supporting the jack, a generally upright body extending away from that base, a rack longitudinally movable with respect to the jack body (at least the head of which rack is extensible beyond the head of said body), and a pivotal jack handle extending generally away from said body for moving said rack with respect to said body. This adapter permits such a jack to be readily converted for use in removing or replacing damaged or rotted railroad ties. The disclosed adapter eleminates the need to laborously remove or replace such ties by hand, and/or obviates the need for expensive tie-pulling equipment which is dedicated solely to that purpose.
