ABSTRACT:
A vertically movable tamping head includes a pair of ballast tamping tool implements arranged for reciprocation in the direction of track elongation towards and away from each other. Each implement includes a rigid mounting support comprised of a vertically extending support arm in vertical alignment with a respective track rail and mounted for pivoting about an axis extending in the direction of the cross ties, a pair of wings extending transversely of the track symmetrically with respect to the support arm, and a tamping tool mounted on each wing. A single reciprocating drive pivots the support arms of the pair of tamping tool implements and the reciprocating drive is respectively connected to one of the support arms by means of a vibrating drive and linked directly to the other support arm.
