A rail-mounted rail processing machine has at least one traction motor and with at least one working unit for processing tracks, a permanent energy source, an electrical energy storage and a current collector. The components are connected to a common direct current network via power converters. In order to create a rail-mounted rail processing machine that allows low-maintenance and environmentally friendly operation of working aggregates with strongly varying peak loads without having to accept losses in the processing quality, the permanent energy source is a fuel cell which feeds at least one base load of the working unit into the direct current network via one of the power converters. To cover peak loads of at least the working unit, buffer energy of the electrical energy storage acting as a buffer store is feedable into the direct current network via an associated one of the power converters.

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.
