ABSTRACT:
A railroad tie plate placing vehicle uses a crawler track to place plates upon rail ties. The crawler track is meshed to a magnetic wheel which holds tie plates to the crawler track until the tie plates have actually contacted a tie. The crawler track at least partially propels the vehicle down the railroad track when the vehicle is placing plates. A tie detector switch is used to control gates which gate tie plates onto the conveyor and magnetic wheel upon detection of a tie such that a tie plate released by the gates will reach a release point in the closed loop of the conveyor at the same time as the release point reaches the tie whose detection triggered the gating of the tie plate.
