Track-renewal train UM-S 2001
Track-laying - Rail and sleeper replacement
The UM-S 2001 track-renewal train operates according to the MATISA-SPITZKE renewal method, named after the Swiss manufacturer of the machine. It enables the continuous renewal of tracks with different forms of sleepers. The UM-S 2001 copies the old track set and/or recreates it in a continuous operation according to the design geometry. Its efficiency guarantees minimised track possession periods.

Funktionsmerkmale
- Rail and sleeper replacement with high renewal rates
- Very short linking and separation times (30 and 45 min respectively)
- Work in minimum radii
- Renewal of timber, concrete and steel sleepers and double sleepers
- Gentle handling of new materials (rails, sleepers)
- No need for tamping; after the renewal the track can be travelled on at 70 km/h (trials currently underway)
- Automatic guidance computerised for track and cant gradient change
- Documentation of position of track re. relative difference in rail levels, longitudinal level, twist and versed sine and recording of sleeper spacing by 6-channel recorder with automatic monitoring
- Correction control for height, direction, track cant
- Copy of the old track geometry or creation of new design geometry in one single operation
- Biologically degradable hydraulic oil
- Low-emission dieel engines
- Deployment of BA Slps 462, 463 and 464 track materials wagon with a running rail height of 900 mm, 1,200 mm and BA Slps 466 track materials wagon with a running rail height of 1,470 mm (ramp wagon required)
- Swivel of 100 mm and lowering of 150 mm
