An anti-icing spray assembly includes a base housing having a generally open top and a cavity. The base housing is adapted to be mounted in a roadway. A spray housing is removably secured to the base housing with at least a portion of the spray housing being disposed in the cavity of the base housing. The spray housing defines an interior chamber and is watertight so as to substantially prevent water from entering the interior chamber. The spray housing includes at least one spray outlet adapted to spray an anti-icing agent onto the roadway. At least one valve assembly is disposed in the interior chamber of the spray housing. The valve assembly is operably connected to the at least one spray outlet. The valve assembly is moveable between a closed position and an open position, wherein the valve assembly is adapted to permit the flow of the anti-icing agent through the at least one spray outlet and onto the roadway when moved to the open position. An anti-icing spray system includes a plurality of anti-icing spray assemblies installed in a roadway having a surface. A fluid conduit communicates with and supplies an anti-icing agent to the respective spray assemblies. A method of installing an anti-icing spray system in a roadway includes installing a plurality of base housings in the roadway such that the base housings do not protrude above a surface thereof, inserting a plurality of spray housings into corresponding ones of the base housings and removably securing the plurality of spray housings to the base housings.

Anti-icing spray assembly

An anchor spreader having a frame which mounts a head assembly for vertical movement between a raised travel position and a lowered operative position and with the head assembly having spreader members which can be positioned immediately above a tie and inwardly of portions of rail-mounted anchors extending above the tie. The spreader members can be moved apart to shift the rail-mounted anchors along the rail away from the tie to achieve the anchor spreading. Positive clamp structure securely holds the head assembly in position longitudinally of the rail whereby the head assembly can remain in fixed position regardless of the reaction to forces exerted in spreading one or more rail mounted anchors.

Anchor spreader

A rail cutting apparatus mountable on a rail and having a linkage structure which supports a rail saw in an upright position at either side of a rail. The linkage structure and rail saw have coacting structure including a mounting block and a mounting plate which securely lock the rail saw in either of its positions and which enable movement of the rail saw between these two positions without complete removal of the rail saw from the linkage structure.

Rail cutting apparatus

The log splitter has a tie rod hydraulic cylinder which connects the beam to the wheeled assembly including the engine and hydraulic pump. The hydraulic cylinder is the only structural connection between the assembly and the beam. The high loads on the cylinder head are transferred to a butt plate on the beam end to which the tie rods are connected. Therefore, the connection of the hydraulic cylinder to the wheeled assembly does not impose high loads on the assembly.
