A rail ballast management and tie guide ski is provided for use with a rail tie exchanger machine moving along a railroad track. The assembly includes a workhead frame configured for attachment to the tie exchanger, the workhead frame having a vertically oriented sleeve defining a cavity, a tie ski having a generally planar tie engaging surface, an opposite upper surface, a connection point at each of two free ends, and a mounting lug is dimensioned for slidably engaging the cavity, and is pivotally connected to the tie ski. Also connected to said tie guide ski assembly is a pair of fluid power cylinder assemblies, one said cylinder assembly connected to a respective connection point at a first end, and to the sleeve at an opposite second end, such that selective pressurization of said fluid power cylinder assemblies causes reciprocal movement of said tie ski relative to said sleeve.

A leg rest assembly for an examination table that is adaptable to extend the length of the table or to act as a kneeler section is disclosed. The extension section of the assembly has an efficient design that allows for the assembly to be easily changed from an extension section to a kneeler. A latching mechanism to hold the assembly in an extended position outwardly from the table is designed separately from the guide mechanism that move the assembly into a kneeler configuration.
