Abrégé

The present disclosure generally relates to automated detection of railroad track features. Images of a railroad track are captured and analyzed to identify track features such as anchors, spikes, rail ties, tie plates, and joints. Various image processing techniques are utilized to accurately distinguish between track features and other objects in the captured images. Track features identified in the images are assigned identifiers and locations and stored in a database so that a status and/or condition of the track features may be monitored for maintenance purposes.

The tie changing boom is moveable between a proximate position and a distal position from the one side of the two rails to grip the tie and remove the tie from under the rails. A kicker is located on the opposite side of the rails from the tie changing boom and contacts one end of the tie to move the tie toward the tie changing boom. A pair of tie plate clamps to hold the tie plates in place when the kicker moves the tie.

A rail vehicle having a frame assembly and a cabin affixed thereto is provided. A moveable seat assembly is located within the cabin, along with a roof, roof support structures, a door, and controls for the operator. The rail vehicle advances intermittently along a railroad track. The moveable seat assembly contains a movement device, which is configured to move the seat longitudinally forward and backward relative to the frame assembly. As the rail vehicle starts and stops on the railroad track, a control device directs the movement device to move the seat forward and backward, so that despite the non-constant speed of the rail vehicle, the seat moves forward at a generally constant speed relative to fixed point outside of the rail vehicle.

Abrégé

A rail vehicle includes a rail vehicle frame, a pocket, a first beam, a second beam, an endplate, an actuator and a workhead carrier. The pocket is coupled to a frame portion of the rail vehicle frame. The first beam is disposed in a cavity defined by the pocket. The second beam is disposed proximal to the first beam. The end plate couples the first beam and the second beam. The actuator extends the first and second beams such that the end plate is displaced transversely with respect to the rail vehicle frame. The work head carrier is operable to translate along the first and second beams and couple the second beam to the frame portion.
