Abstract
A machine for compacting and shaping a ballast bed comprises a machine frame supported on undercarriages on a track for mobility in an operating direction, a vertically adjustable track stabilization assembly including a vibrator for generating horizontal oscillations extending transversely to the longitudinal direction and flanged rollers engaging, and running on, the track rails, drives linking the track stabilization assembly to the machine frame for vertically adjusting the track stabilization assembly, and a vertically adjustable plow for profiling the ballast, the plow being affixed directly to the track stabilization assembly to form a structural unit therewith.
