Abstract
A ballast tamping machine comprises an elongated machine frame, and a tool carrier frame supporting a ballast tamping head, a track lifting and lining unit and an auxiliary rail lifting device comprising a rail clamping element and drive for vertically and transversely adjusting the device for engagement of a rail of a branch track adjacent the track by the rail clamping element. A displacement drive connects the tool carrier frame to the machine frame for longitudinally displacing the tool carrier frame relative to the machine frame, and at least one undercarriage supports each frame on the track.
