Abstract

The present invention provides apparatus for the continuous replacement of ballast material beneath a railway track comprising rails (10A, 10B), mounted on sleepers (11A, 11B). The apparatus comprises: (a) means to cut an elongate trench (12) adjacent one rail (10B) of the track and extending in a direction substantially parallel to said rail; (b) means (13) to remove ballast material from beneath one or more of the sleepers (11B) and to convey said ballast material to a collector means (14) located in said trench; (c) collector means (14) to collect said removed ballast material and to deposit it on a conveying means (15); (d) means (15) to convey the deposited collected ballast material to a disposal means; and (e) means to replace the removed ballast with fresh ballast; wherein at least said means (b) and (c) are in operative association with each other.
