ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for simultaneously removing and in situ severing of rails from a rail bed to produce a plurality of rail sections of predetermined lengths including a sled frame defining a rail channel with an anvil mounted on the sled frame across the rail channel at the rear thereof. A hammer is mounted on the sled frame above the rail channel spaced from the anvil and moves along a ram path extending from a level above the rail channel to a level below the rail channel. Control mechanism is associated with the hammer for actuating the ram to travel along the ram path to contact a rail and force same against the anvil to cause the rail to fracture. In another embodiment a hammer and blade are carried by a member pivotally mounted on the sled frame sequentially to score the rail and then to sever same.
