ABSTRACT:
The self-propelled load carrying vehicle includes a vehicle framework supported by road wheels, and railroad wheels are mounted on the framework and are movable up and down with respect to the framework for supporting the vehicle from the railroad track. The rear road wheels propel the vehicle along the track. A sub-frame is rotatably mounted on the vehicle framework about an upwardly extending axis, and dump body is pivotally mounted on the sub-frame about an approximately horizontal axis. A conveyor is mounted to the rear end of the sub-frame and rotates with the sub-frame and dump body and receives the load from the dump body when the dump body is tilted and progressively urges the load on beyond the rear opening of the dump body. A crane assembly is mounted on the vehicle framework forwardly of the dump body and the boom support and operator's station are movable together from beyond one side of the vehicle to beyond the other side of the vehicle to enable the graple of the crane to retrieve crosstie butts that are located immediately adjacent and outwardly to the side of the railroad track and to provide clear visibility for the vehicle operator.
