TRACK RELAYING MACHINE CUTS LINE OCCUPATION TIMES

A prototype SUZ500J track relaying train developed in Austria is described. The SUZ500J differs in principle from the earlier machines in that it removes the old track in panels. The design has been specifically developed to allow relaying work during short line possessions and downtime is only about 15 min. The machine works on the assembly line principle and consists of track panel remover, track tie laying unit, ballast grader, power unit, materials supply cars and a gantry crane.
