Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus of re-railing a rail car involving the use of one or more extendable arms carried by each individual rail car is provided. The extendable arms may be operable to extend outward from the rail car and then lower an extendable foot to contact the ground, thus allowing the car to be raised into position back over the rails of the associated train tracks utilizing these extendable arms. Since the arms are compact and carried by the rail car themselves, there is no time lost while lifting equipment is brought in and cars may be quickly and efficiently re-railed to minimize the overall time loss of the associated train tracks.
