Apparatus for the vertical and lateral movement of a section of railway track. Gripping members are operated to grip the two lines of rails. The gripping members are mounted on at least one support frame connected by articulated connecting members to the chassis of a track maintenance vehicle movable on the track. The support frame is movable both vertically and laterally relative to the vehicle under the action of lifting members or lining members, to move said track section and to bring it into a predetermined reference position. The apparatus comprises in combination vertical and lateral support members connected to the support frame to guide the same and supported on at least one line of rails and guidance and control members for moving each gripping member relative to the support frame in directing both vertical and transverse to the track.
Apparatus for the vertical and lateral movement of a section of railway track wherein gripping members operated so as to be able to grip the two lines of rails are mounted on at least one support frame connected by articulated connecting members to a chassis movable on the track, which support frame is movable both vertically and laterally relative to said chassis under the action of lifting members or lining members, in order to move said track section and to bring it into a predetermined reference position , characterized in that said gripping members are provided for each side of the track and are transversely displaceable, substantially in a straight line [, transversely in relation to the support frame] along said support frame;
