Casing for Concrete Bedding of Railway and Method for the Construction of a Railway
20180080177 · 2018-03-22 ·

The present invention relates to a casing for concrete, appropriate for use in the construction of a concrete bedding of a railway, which casing includes a reinforcement, appropriate for reinforcing the concrete bedding and which reinforcement is connected bearingly to the casing, in which the reinforcement is connected bearingly to at least a part of at least one attachment means, which attachment means is appropriate for mounting at least one rail to the concrete bedding to be constructed and further relates to a method for the construction of a concrete bedding of a railway using the casing for concrete.

Track maintenance apparatus and method

In an aspect, a track maintenance vehicle includes a body, a work head, and a controller. The work head performs track maintenance and is coupled to the body. The controller is configured to operate the vehicle in an autonomous mode. In another aspect, an anchor adjustor includes first and second jaws and an actuator. The jaws pivot about a single axis. The actuator causes the jaws to rotate about the axis. In another aspect, an anchor adjustor assembly includes a first pair of jaws, a second pair of jaws and an actuator. The first and second pairs of jaws open and close about a rail in a track. The actuator causes the closed first pair of jaws to translate towards the closed second pair of jaws along a longitudinal direction of the rail.
