Definitions

  • This invention relates to a vehicle which can be utilised for the servicing of the ballast of a rail track and in particular the removal of ballast from a rail track to facilitate replenishment of the ballast.
  • ballast becomes contaminated by soil, fine crushed rock particles and the like, the functioning of the ballast in supporting the rail track can be prejudiced.
  • servicing requires removal of the existing ballast which has been contaminated and replacement of that ballast.
  • the ballast is being removed and until the ballast has bee properly placed and the rail track tamped into place the rail track is unavailable to traffic.
  • ballast has previously been effected by personnel digging out the contaminated ballast and/or utilisation of an earth moving vehicle located beside the track at the relevant location which then extracts the ballast from between and underneath the sleepers in the relevant area and deposits the extracted ballast to one side of the track.
  • ballast The manual removal of the ballast is labour intensive and requires the rack to be out of service for a considerable period of time, and whilst the use of an earthmoving machine is more efficient in terms of labour and it is quite practical on flat or even terrain it presents difficulties in circumstances where the rail track is located on a narrow track located on: a raised bank; a hill side; a railway crossing; and a bridge in which situations the extracted ballast cannot be deposited beside the portion of the track from which it is removed and there is generally not sufficient room to enable an earthmoving vehicle to be safely located beside the track to remove the ballast. It is an object of this invention to provide a rail servicing vehicle which is capable of being supported upon the rail track to be serviced, removing the ballast and readily depositing the ballast at the desired location beside the rail track.
