Abstract
There is described a mobile apparatus for laying of railway tracks. The apparatus includes a working tool carrying chassis capable of laying of new ties, a wagon for transporting and handling of material necessary for the track laying and a carrying bridge structure having one end carried by a rolling support and the other end comprising a rolling support and at least one supplementary retractable rolling support which is adapted to bear on the track bed. The carrying chassis is suspended above a working zone from the carrying bridge structure. The device is characterized in that the carrying bridge structure includes a wagon having only a single rolling support disposed at its end and provided with the aforementioned retractable supplementary rolling support and a longitudinally extending raised chassis which is pivoted at its other end to an overhanging bracket extending from the wagon which transports and handles the material. The device is further characterized in that the carrying chassis is suspended and articulated at one end to the overhanging bracket and at the other end to the raised chassis of the wagon which has a single rolling support; and still further in that this carrying chassis is mounted so as to be height adjustable, the single rolling support wagon having a supplementary height adjustable tie laying means on its raised chassis disposed near its rolling support.
