TRACK RENEWAL SYSTEMTC


Special Features

Harsco Rails TRT-909 track renewal system provides a more efficient method to handling major track renewal
programs. The TRT-909 works with concrete, pre-plated wood, or steel ties. It delivers simplicity in operation for
customers and leaves behind high quality track with precise tie spacing and a smooth ballast bed.

fasteners can be applied)
Vacuum System

Spike Pullers

New Tie Laying

Flat Cars

Spike pullers remove the field side


spikes and leave the gauge side
spike to hold the tie plate in a fixed
position. There is one spike puller
located over each rail. A magnetic
spike pick-up wheel reclaims the
spikes after they have been pulled.

The new ties are then positioned on


the prepared roadbed by the New
Tie Laying Mechanism. A tie spacer
bar squares up the crossties after
they are laid on the track bed. A
distance counter wheel controls the
spacing of the ties and is adjustable
to meet various tie spacing
requirements.

Standard flat cars are equipped


with auxiliary rails which form a
continuous running rail for the
gantries. The flat cars are stocked
with new ties in four or five layers.
As new ties are used, old ties are
stored on the flat cars.

Rail Laying/Threading

The Induction Rail Heater provides


accurate and efficient rail distressing
capability. The heaters raise the rail
temperature to the required neutral
temperature.

Old Tie Equipment


The old crossties are lifted from the
roadbed and placed on the conveyor
by the Old Tie Pick-Up Mechanism.
The old ties are then transported by
conveyors to a staging area where a
gantry collects them for transport to
storage areas on the flatcars.
Roadbed Preparation
Immediately behind the Old Tie
Pick-Up Mechanism, a ballast
spreader/plow destroys the old tie
molds and undercuts the ballast
section to prepare the roadbed for
the new ties.

Using a series of rollers, the old rail


is removed and threaded out along
side of the track, and the new rail
is picked up from the shoulder and
laid in gauged position. Thus, the
machine simultaneously removes
the old rail while laying the new rail.

Induction Rail Heater

Gantries
Each self-propelled gantry has one
operator. The rear gantries transport
ties to and from the front gantry
which in turn moves the ties to and
from the old and new tie conveyors.

Contract Services
The first track renewal system was built in 1978 and has since installed approximately 15,000,000
ties (equal to 5,700 miles or 8,500 km). Harsco Rails Contract Services provide customers with a high
quality service by crews that know the machines maintenance and operation best.
