A maintenance vehicle has side walls for creating a work space, delimited by the same, for working personnel situated on a track. The side walls are arranged on a vehicle frame and configured to be distanced from one another in a transverse direction of the vehicle. For treatment of a track section situated within the work space, an industrial robot is arranged on the vehicle, having at least three motion axes, media couplings for energy supply as well as a tool coupling for selective connection to a track treatment tool.

The invention relates to a cleaning device for the dry cleaning of a tunnel, comprising a feeding device for feeding a flow of air to a surface being cleaned, wherein the feeding device has an exit opening, through which the flow of air emerges from the feeding device, and a removal device comprising at least one removal pipe with a free end with an opening for suctioning away direct or trash from the surface with the opening of the free end in a first direction. The feeding device is arranged such that the flow of air from the exit opening emerges from the feeding device in a second direction toward the opening of the free end of the removal pipe and impinges on the surface. The first direction is oriented at an angle between 45 and 80 to the second direction.

A rail rolling apparatus and method of use, the apparatus having a back end portion with one or more apertures, a middle portion, and one or more hooks which are capable of substantially receiving the base of a railroad rail. The apertures are sized to receive one or more backhoe bucket teeth. When positioned with the railroad rail and the backhoe bucket, the method of use allows the backhoe bucket to repair or fix rolled over rail and bent rail, and further allows for positioning or lining of track via various movements of the bucket or backhoe arm.

A composition for increasing adhesion between two surfaces that are in traction, sliding or rolling-sliding contact with each other is provided. The composition comprises one or more than one first component, where each of the one or more than one first component has a Mohs hardness value of equal to or greater than 7, and one or more than one organic rheology additive. The one or more than one first component and the one or more than one organic rheology additive are present in a ratio from about 90:10 to about 99.9:0.1 (wt/wt). The composition does not comprise water. A method of increase adhesion between two steel surfaces in sliding-rolling contact is also described. The method involves applying the composition to the rail surface at a rate sufficient to increase the adhesion between the two steel surfaces.
