ABSTRACT:
A track/right of way maintenance and repair system including a loader car, implement car and refuse car for removal, pickup and transport of debris found along a railroad track. The loader car is hydraulically powered along the track and includes a hydraulic rotatable and pivotal segmented boom for releasably collecting debris, utilizing various implements as stored in the implement car. An operator cab is rotatable with the boom to allow for unobstructed viewing and is pivotal between functional and reduced profile positions to allow the loader car to pass underneath bridges, viaducts or the like. A hydraulic reservoir enables the system to be self powered including hydraulic motor propulsion, boom rotation, boom pivot and braking, cab tilt and implement power. The system allows for an efficient, contemporaneous debris removal, storage and transport to a dump site by one crew.
