Special equipment on Russian railways (22 photos)

Sent: kenterik - you think that the railway is the only trains and cars?

Almost all construction and maintenance work produced in the field of railways in Russia, require the use of special equipment. This is how are stipulated by the length of railways (Russia ranked 2nd in the world), and the very specific nature of such work.
Machines for the building of railways

Cranes Track Laying (CC) - is designed for mechanical operations of laying units with rails, as well as the dismantling of the way links that are exempt from the ballast to loading them on the platform of the crane.





Tracklayer Tractor portal (PB-3M) - designed for installation or dismantling of the railway track links with rails up to 25 meters on wooden or concrete sleepers. Tracklayer consists of a tractor T-100M (T 100MZ, T-130) equipped with a combined rail and trailer equipment.





Straightening-tamping and straightening machine (CDF, ​​VPO) - designed for a range of works on the finishing dosage ballast (gravel), lifting of the way, sealing its slopes and the way in terms of straightening. Their main application - capital construction and medium repair of the way.





Vertical kotlovanokopateli (VC) - are intended for the development of a railway track pits for support of contact network and air lines.





Travel motor wrenches (SGP) - designed to consolidate and lubrication of terminal and inserts bolts continuous use during installation and change tracks, as well as at discharge temperature stresses continuous welded rail.





Track rail welding machine (PRSM) - designed for welding method electrocontact joints of rails. Welding of rails can be made as lying in the path, which moves directly to the machine, and the rails laid along the path inside or outside of the track at a distance of 2600 mm from the rail.





Overall electrified jib cranes (HES GEPK) - mounted on a rolling stock and have the console (arrows) for installation of beams, slabs and blocks of support in the construction of bridges. Cranes types of HES-80 GPEK-130-17, 5 and GPEK-130U console are symmetrical on both sides.





Machinery for repair and maintenance of railroads

Trolley assembly, freight, crane (DM, AGM, DHA, ADM) - are intended for transport of goods and repair and travel teams to work sites, as well as for installation, maintenance and emergency repair work on the contact network of electrified railways.





Cleaning machines - designed for cutting and cleaning of ballast and weeds from intertrack spaces, roadsides, ditches on stages and stations with loading dump cars or gondolas. Just machines perform work on Skolkov ice intertrack spaces or mid adjacent track, sagging vase life.





Ballast cleaner (SCHOM) - are intended for mechanized cleaning of contaminants crushed stone ballast track with weeds in the loading specialized rolling stock and refined styling of rubble in the track grid.





Snow plows trains and - intended for cleaning snow from the paths in height and 0 to 6 m single track sections discarding snow on both sides of the road or snow with loading one or more intermediate gondola.
