MECHANIZED APPLIANCES FOR PERMANENT WAY MAINTENANCE--4

Development of equipment for permanent way depots and for maintenance gangs is described. At a pre-assembly depot, lengths of new track are assembled and loaded, and lengths recovered from a renewal are unloaded and dismantled. On the other hand, at reclamation depots materials received from renewals are stripped, classified, and either reclaimed for use elsewhere, or disposed of as surplus to requirements. Details of these operations are reviewed.
