Abstract (en)

An upright derailed railroad vehicle is rerailed by means of a wheeled carriage (12) which is displaceably mounted in a rigid, elongate, channel-shaped base member (10). A jack is releasably secured to the carriage (12) by means of a shoe (38) having securing formations (42). The base member (10) and carriage (12), with the jack secured thereto, are placed underneath the vehicle and the jack extended to lift the vehicle clear of the rails. The vehicle may then be safely displaced sidewardly. The vehicle is displaced sidewardly by means of a lever arm that has at its lower end an angular foot which engages one of the rails and intermediate its ends it has a coupling formation which is engageable with a chain which has a hook at its end.
